Pictures as promised!










Back again!

Well a lot has happened in the last month. We spent a week at the cabin, Oyster Bay, Sunshine coast, BC. where Naomi and I got Married! It was an amazing time the weather was amazing and everything went perfectly. It was a really great party. I don't think it could have been better. From there we left for our honeymoon and flew down to Costa Rica where we spent three weeks on the beach with a few days inland in the Monteverde cloud forest. It was such a good time, very relaxing. It was hard to come back to our world of technology, internet, cell phones, cars etc. Not that all these things are bad, but I believe that is part of the allure of sailing as well is to get away from being so connected to all these things. Funny that I'm writing this while ON THE INTERNET. I guess its about finding the balance of it all.
We have been back for a week now and I have been taking advantage of not working to put in time working on the boat. We flipped her back over before we left so I was able to keep painting when we returned. Now the painting is all done! The center board got cut out and shaped. It is mostly fiberglassed, just waiting to buy some lead to put in the bottom then finish the fiberglassing. The rudder will be getting cut out soon and finished. The bowsprit is being thought about. Then its time for rigging and Final finishing details. So all that being said she is almost done, just standing at the edge of the tunnel looking out into the light!
Camera battery is dead, so I will add pictures later. Here is a couple taken with my phone of the centerboard before fiberglassing, oh and one from the wedding!
