....and continues...

The plans are still on to move us and the boat to the Gulf of Mexico next year. I am heading to the boat tomorrow to continue work on the head area. The plywood had rotted out over the years on the bulkheads. I have two of the bulkheads redone and will hopefully reinstall them this weekend. I also hope to get some decent pictures of the work, before and after, for the blog. I got the headsail webbing resewn back on this week. It's usable again!!! Last week when I took her out without it, she was soooo underpowered in the light winds we had on the lake.

The work continues....

I was able to get to the boat this weekend and shake the cobwebs off of her and take her out. The head sail is off of her, as I am trying to get the sacrificial cloth redone. After getting an estimate on getting the sacrificial redone, a small fortune, I have decided to do it myself. Thanks to our slip mate, who has the perfect sewing machine for the job, it should be a short process. I am still redoing the woodwork piece by piece. Hopefully this winter or the beginning of next year, the bottom job will be done, along with the delaminated decks.
