So glad that you have been with us the entire time. As much as I think we will be done in time we will really never be done...

It kind of turned into that didn't it? Some days I think I worked harder on the blog than I did on the boat... luckily I have my brother as a partner in this project.

Yesterday, my daughter and I had the opportunity to visit Michael, Donald and see the boat first hand in the midst of her transition. I am still overwhelmed by the degree of redesign and workmanship going into the project.

It was great to meet you yesterday and I very much appreciate all of the technical information that you have given me. Once Becky is in the water please feel free to make the trip to see us if you want.

I worked on the seacocks today and they should be good now. I will out out a new post tomorrow to show the photos. Hoping to get the boat in the water on Thursday.

We are very happy to on the water too ... although we haven't left the slip yet. The gelcoating of the helm is supposed to be done this week and then the electronics can be installed and then the engines can be started. Unfortunately I am depending on others to do this. I will update the blog in the next few days.
Thanks again for following along.
