Loose ends...

I've been helping a friend with re-seating a bulkhead and doing the as-long-as-we-have-the-tools-out-why-not-a-whole-new-galley two step... It's a good feeling to help a friend and even more interesting, working on a friends boat is a neat way to bring perspective to your own. I highly recommend it!

As soon as the new galley is sorted out, I now have all the bits to build the new mast and should soon be up to my elbows in wood shavings, epoxy, biaxial glass, carbon and the odd bit of kevlar, which is some kind of wonderful as I am soooo tired of living on a motorboat (albeit a non-polluting one)!

We don't have the Dynex Dux for the rigging yet and while I do have the materials to build the dead-eyes I have not quite got around to building them yet, but more than likely the coming weekend will be doing the dead-eye ting.

You can almost smell progress in the air...
