No pictures – left camera at home and forgot to snap a pic with my cell phone (ok, actually it was just too hot to stay in the garage long enough to take a picture)… Temps have been in the low 100’s for the past 2 weeks, but we’ve (slowly) got a little done.

It started out simple enough… Do more rough-fairing and filling on the starboard side of the main hull… Untill we made another pass and thought… ya know… This is good enough to laminate… And so the tale of this weekend starts… 🙂

Just got an update from Ian saying that our beams shipped today.
Spent the past two weeks watching my 5-year old nephew so didn’t do much boat-work (except start the rudder cassette) and am typing this from Montreal, Canada and not flying home until this weekend. Hopefully I’ll be able to get some work done Sunday/Monday (work holiday) so we can get the starboard side laminated and get ready for installing the beam mounts.
