The raw American decency on display in the US Senate after today's earlier infamy is cause for hope, at least for this USA fan from down under.
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).

Thanks Jeff.
Today I had planned to use Skinnydip to get to Great Sandy to apply the next coat of protective varnish on her cockpit sole. Alas, it's rained all day, courtesy of the tail end of tropical cyclone Imogen.
Tomorrow perhaps .....

Pretty proud of congress for going right back to work and finishing their job. And considering the position he was in I think Pence handled himself darn well.

Been more than a bit going on, no updates.
Tomorrow is looking promising for a renewed dalliance with miss pram.

The tops of Feather Pram's stern and bow transoms were left oversized and squared so they could be screwed to the building frame outside the footprint of the finished transoms. I didn't want any holes.
This afternoon I planed down the top of the stern transom to close to final shape.
The first pic shows the squared tops of both transoms, the second the near final stern transom and the yet to be shaped top of the bow transom.
The second and third pics highlight where I need to make final shaping adjustments.
