Have spent the last evening working on getting the port aft berth bulkhead installed. About to run out of teak support but will need to wait until cash flow is better to drop another $200. The bulkhead on the starboard aft is done, the risers for the step is done, which in itself was a two month job. The stay in the hospital did not help. Looking to the sail net community as to advise for the gaps I left between the bulkhead and glass. Did not want to put stress on glass. Thinking of using foam. Waiting for opinions(s).
Found out from one of my friends at boat yard, that most trawler use quite a bit of foam in the can for voids. Just make sure that is not the stuff used on houses, need one like evercoat.

Boat Sick
This was taken in 1998 by a friend that was on his power boat as we traveled together on the Chesapeake coming back from Eastern Shore. I am at the helm and the gentleman on the front was a guest. The Island Gypsy is doing around 8 knots at this point with all sails aloft.
I miss this boat.
To much to do - May 10. 2008
I have not had the time to do much, but some items are done. The starboard and port berths are in with support bulkhead fiberglassed in. Now, I am working on a step that will give me an area for batteries. Have the deck plate fabricated, with holes for block, see picture.
Most likely will not have ready for this season, just to much to do and work has been demanding.
