The wife must have felt sorry for me after my man flu turned out to be covid (almost over it) and must have actually listened to me when I was muttering on about how I'm going to shape the masts .......she is a star :)

Started lining the gun ports this morning these are the ones with covers/doors so need to be done before planking, will sand level with the hull once it's dry, gave the deck a second light coat of oak stain too.

This is coming along great. You are right about the decks. All captains would have their decks holystoned very early every morning until they were almost white.
