Making headway...

An interesting solar water still, the key word here is "adapt", and DoryMan points us to a cool scow project and makes a point...

Yeah, I keep having all sorts of warm and fuzzy thoughts about a scow cruising boat. So much so, that it's hard for me to concentrate on the various jobs and projects I need to be doing. You know how it goes...

That said, the weather is good (spelled n-o-t-r-a-i-n-i-n-g) and even though the last couple of days the anchorage has been rolling like a drunk pig, stuff is getting done.

One of the current small projects is building a few dedicated camera mounts into key areas (hard dodger/spreaders/mast head) of "So It Goes" for our plethora of GoPro cameras (soon to be made larger with the addition of the new and even better GoPro2). A pretty easy task as the camera mounts are simple stock FCS skeg mounts designed for surfboards so it is a simple matter of drilling a hole, sealing the area with epoxy, and then gluing the fixture in place...

In the now for something completely different department, is this cool or what?

I'm thinking it would be a very cool way to give "So It Goes" that dazzle paint job I keep threatening to do...
