Hi Greg,

It looks real nice.

If I remember correct, you had said in not applying the wood for the berths, since you were not planing on sleeping on the boat.

I think it is a choice, I mean, apply it or not.

Anyway, it is progressing very well.

All the best.

Marcelo. :)

Hello Greg,



How are you?

I agree if you...This keel is really a pain. I did not work to much in the boat in the last three months, I was traveling and working a lot..that is good too.

I started working in the keel, this weekend...

So I hope get this done ASAP.

All the best!!!

Marcelo.
