Spring is here!
Last week ushered in the first day of spring, the days are getting longe, and boat projects are under way! Right now the yard is working on the new cabin sole. They've removed a lot of the furnishings (table, nav chair, cabin doors) and are replacing those parts of the subfloor that were a little gushy. They're glassing in the new floor, sealing it against water damage.
The interior is quite a mess at the moment, but we'll start working on the varnish as soon as this wekeend, weather permitting!
Meanwhile, I've replaced the nav console at the helm, the one whose screen got so horribly scratched by whatever I shouldn't have cleaned it with. It looks brand new, and is just waiting to be reinstalled. The wind instruments are here. KG and Company will install them before the boat launches.
So far we're still on track for a launch date on or about May 1st!
