steps forward, then one step back as we solve two problems, but expose
another. But in the process we hope we're creating a reliable vessel.
We spent three days on board last week and took a 3 hour trip down the
river and then back to Thomaston. We exposed some problems, but also
had a nice afternoon on the water. The weather has been pretty awful
with lots of rain and some thunderstorms. The upside is that the
heavy rains are giving us confidence that we don't have any deck leaks!
Fay and I are now moved into a rented house for two weeks, letting the
yard work on the boat while we prepare for the christening party on
Saturday and seeing all of our friends who are making the trek to
Maine. We'll post some pictures of the party and the almost finished
boat next week.
