It's been slow going, but we're starting to realize that it really is turning into a boat. :) We're finishing up putting 3 layers of epoxy on pretty much everything, cutting parts out of the bulkheads that need to go and cutting floorboards. I am so grateful for Dad (of course you know it's Dan writing this!)... while I'm at school working, he is here also working hard on so many things, but among them is figuring out all the little details - where will the battery go? How will the rudder attach? Where do we put the anchor and how do we strengthen the bow? He's very smart, and he always knows what's next to do.
