A couple more panels under vac. Working alone. Ray has bladder cancer and they took his out last week.

The cancer and chemo had weakened him badly and he wasn't really able to work.

So I am on my own now.

Well wishes for Ray, Fallguy!

I suspect that even alone you are a few times more productive than many others(ok, me) are with help.
There are only two seasons in Vermont: boating season, and boat-building season.

Oh.. that looks like that helm thing you have been working on! That has got to be exciting to get to that point!

Sorry to hear about your helper/buddy... hope he has a fast recovery and all goes well for him.

Well, the helm stand is all glued and taped and I taped about 4 pounds of tape and epoxy in the cabin yesterday. Ran a space heater in there overnite.

Today is a sanding day. Again.

I will try to get some fairing compounds applied as well.

Last nite there was a pack of coyotes in our yard going absolutely apeshit. Three other packs answered them back.
