HAPPY THANKSGIVING

The grunt work is coming to an end. We have all the aluminum work done on deck and inside. Paint touch up in process on pilot house.

Stabilizers were installed, that was tough. Wiring was done by Alan who came from the mountains to help us. we had a great time. and he did an amazing job .
we should fire the engine this week and hope for launching mid- december.
We are poop out, working seven days a week, and we need to be on the water unstead of climbing stairs all day.

We got the dinghy and it looks great, a few rough spot here and there. but overall it looks fantastic. will see how it perform at  sea.
Plumbing is done ,we have water, power, propane and stove. cushions are been made and tee-top and we are gearing up to move stuff on the boat  for the big transfer.

The interior is nearly done, we have a shower, but still a long list stuck on the wall.  what is left to do ? tons of stuff and the keel. we have dug a hole for the rudder and it was easy, the keel will be a challenge we have dug a big hole and we had to slide it in the hole, then cranked it up to 24  bolts with  hydraulic jacks !!!!!. I did not think we could make it. but hey hey...

Used the old suburban, worked great !


Turkey was great but missing  two boys... close to my heart.
