Well, I'm feeling stronger and much better as each day passes.
Back on the boat soon I hope. Maybe the WX will change about the time I'm ready. Went in to have blood drawn yesterday. Go to see my Doctor on the 23rd. A clean bill of health should trigger all sorts of activity. I need to make a list and put everything in order. JAS, you going out this weekend?
And have you ever fished from the Mothership? :D

No but I hoping to!!! I'm trying to talk my fishing partner into making this adventure. I did spend a few days at another of their lodges (Painters..) last year and it was nicely done..fished for 3 days straight and brought some nice Chinook home for the grill.

I'm about 70mi west of Seattle.
So far this week we have had a couple days of
40-50 knot winds, rain every day(part time).
Snow, hail and sun.
Spring is on the way though, the grass needs mowing.
And the weather gives me an excuse (so far) to ignore everything
else and work on the boat.

Well, a couple of days of sunshine here and three days there. I'm working on the cabin and pilot house. Hopefully it will look like Copro's in a 2 or 3 weeks.
I glued the pilot house sides to the cabin sides today.The sides are stitched together. When the seams are glassed I will start on the other cabin seams.
Then cabin to deck seams. Then roofs and windshield. I have plenty to do inside the garage with sanding and spreading resin. But at least I'm moving on it. Sun again tomorrow then 2 days of rain. Sheese ! :( Oh well :)

I uploaded two new pics to prove I'm getting something done in spite of rain.

Yo! Da! It looks awesome. Is it my imagination or is the sun shining in that picture? :D

Keep posting pictures, that's one of my favorite designs, and you're doing an incredible job.

Thanks M.R. The kind remarks are welcome and appreciated.
Yes, the sun is out. Once the hi pres. moves in over us that will be it. It will heat up very fast. Then I will be cooling the resin so I can use it. I hope my stamina comes back. Four or five hours a day is the best I can do. Couple of hours for TV and then about 16 for sleep. :D :D :D
