Slow and Steady

The Boston Whaler almost complete:


Brock made new rails for it yesterday and today we installed them.  There was much measuring, discussion, drilling, screw-finding, counter-sinking and double-checking going on :)  They are made of Ipe wood (pronounced eee-pay) and are extremely strong and striking.  A new bimini top cover is being made in Forest Green Sunbrella to match everything else - the last one was lost in a strong squall that blew in one night anchored off Egg Island, Eleuthera.  This happened within days after buying the boat, so she may not want one but we are going to try again :)

Keewatin's rub rail and green stripe were sanded today in preparation for their new coats of paint.  

It is all coming together.
