Back At It Again

Ok! I've been away for a week or so on a trip, but today I got back at it again. After the usual amount of fussing, I cut the rest of the garboard planks (fwd) and screwed the suckers down. Smooth sailing from here, right? right?

Other exciting news: my lovely and talented ladyfriend gave me a digital camera for my birthday (last week) so I'll be able to post day-to-day shots from now on! (Well, it's exciting for me, anyway.)

If you live anywhere in the northeast U.S., then you know it got hit hard last week with a snow storm. I came home to find part of the plastic over my "roof" collapsed. Bit of snow on the fwd part of the hull, but since everything is (a) viciously coated with linseed oil/kerosene and (b) somewhere around 3 ℉, I'm not too worried about rot, just now.

Sunday is The Day I'm Not Allowed To Work On The Boat, so nothing else 'till monday!
