February 10, 2008 - Progress, perhaps
On Saturday, I had planned to start early, but forgot about the training two of my staff were doing, so I decided to just say hi.
Got back home, continued with the starboard assembly for the step. Bolted into the bulkhead that I had made and to the fiberglass rise for the berth. Look fairly good.
Decided to varnish the midship bulkheads completed with clear gloss over the satin. To make sure it was good adhesion, did a small section hid by bulkhead attachment. Look good when dry and proceeded to coat remaining area. I ahave not make my mind as to whether to pull the port install new bulkhead to varnish or just do on board.
By the way the young man that did the following blog did an excellent job in tracking his work.http://www.oday22.com/about

Not as cold - February 3, 2008
The weather has not been to cold to work inside boat as well as basement. Went back to Windor and got 1/4 marine plywood, with a vener. The company is worldpanel.com.
I will have both aft berths and step down in another two weeks. At this speed will not be sailing soon.

Looking for Bolts - January 20, 2008
I did not realize how difficult it is to find a stainless bolt(s). I found some at Burke Hardware in Raliegh yesterday after visiting both Home Depot and Lowes. Neither had what I needed for the bulkheads.
Today I visited with a friend in Eden fleamarket, who also sells bolts. We talked and I added him to google mail.
Today it is 21 degrees here, no snow though. Working in the work area today getting the starboard berth ready to put in. I think I have come to a plan for the batteries, eletrical panel, VHF, compass and battery switch. The remaining question, will it be in the water by spring?

At Wintergreen - January 12 & 13, 2008 (No Boats Here)
Chris in the red jacket
Sue called and said the unit was was open and Chris should go ski at WinterGreen . Though on call for work, another staff offered to watch the weekend for me.
This was the first time in years, since sailing on the Island Gyspy, we have spent this much time together. That was back in 1996. That's to long of a time not to spent time with one's child.
He still does pretty good.
