Back from vacation!

Categories: Main Hull
So I’ve been gone for the past week… Dad’s planked some more of the deck…. 2498 and while he was laboring on that, I was visiting friends in the Bahamas…. staying on this….. 2510 looking at beaches like this…. 2504 and this…. 2507 and catching things like this…. 2501 So… I’ll need to work my butt off this weekend on the boat, because the guilt is just POURING in and I need to earn my keep with some fiberglassing… 🙂

A little more progress on the starboard main hull half…
