It’s our first day back and it’s been a productive one. After putting together a quick schedule for the week we set straight to work. Assembling all the parts from the last session was fun – once the sanding was finished we seemed to get a great deal done very quickly. Then it was on to the prow and stern posts – a complicated job – but more about that tomorrow…

For now, the flatner still looks like something between a fossil, a fish, and a space ship about to take off. I think perhaps after all this time the boat is eager to be off – hopefully that energy will stand us in good stead when it’s finally time to spring forth onto the waters.
