Very exhausted. She is sitting on the beaching keels. A bit nervous that is too much, but went for it.



Rant warning....this is a highly philosophical moment, noone need reply.

Tyranny of the majority is when the majority in a given state believe their views on a subject are more important than the views of a few. The founders rejected majority tyranny, but we are facing it today. People like to cloud it in well, we don't have national majority tyranny, but really, in the end there is no difference. The SCOTUS is doing a terrible job. Laws in Texas and California that allow third parties to make tort claims are ridiculous and frivolous. In the context of state majority populations ruling; exactly the same. And Putin sucks bad.

I guess it is not in the water due to more painting needed where those brackets were? I thought it was going to the marina to take a splash! :doh: Isn't those beaching keels made to support the boat? Isn't it harder to work on at the marina? From the even bigger boat in the background, I am guessing the marina has a big gantry crane made for getting boats in and out?

Get some rest, Chillout and give us a better update when you are better rested.

Yup. You got it Ken. There are two places to bottom paint and the hardtop to go back on. Boat was too high with the windshield.

Antifoul needs 48 hours to cure at 50F which is our overnites now.

Rained today. Did what I could.

Get that thing in the water! The huge grin on your face will make you forget all the hard parts of the build :wink:
You did one hell of a job sticking with the build and seeing it through. Every time somebody starts talking about a 30 foot or more boat build I have to wonder if they really understand just how big that elephant is.

I think we all are very excited about the boat creeping closer to the water and when the sea trails will begin. Do you have a time schedule? Was there any damage done to her during her road travel and lift?

Launch is likely Wednesday. One spot I wondered about damage, but the fairing there was kinda poor, like the worst on the bottom edge, so maybe just an illusion..no discernable sounding differences.

Sorry to hear about possible a little damage but it is for sure exciting to hear a launch possible this week. I would hope you would have someone take lots of pictures of that moment, as I am sure you will be too busy making sure it all goes smoothly. With a launch date I am sure you are having a hard time relaxing or sleeping but try anyways.
