  1. It seems that this summer has been more busy than usual, which means the shipyard has been fairly quiet.

    Thought I'd include a couple of pictures of our garden bounty. The cherry tomato plants, that I'm standing behind, went a little crazy this year. I'm 5'7" and they are a couple of feet above my head! :huh:

    I have a small update as well:

     

    The upper portion of the second planking is complete. I've made and installed the support beams and columns for the fore deck, and the second planking is done on the lower section of the stern - not sure of the name of this part - it's the thick section below the lower gallery.

     

    I salvaged a beautiful block of cherry wood from the wood pile and have been drying it now for a couple of months. I'm thinking of using it for the deck furniture etc.......but first, the rest of the planking. :rolleyes:

  2.  Paint? Moosehead?  Beans? Tents?  Sjors - the voice of reason?  I've finally seen it all...

    Just got back from vacation and while catching up on this log, I came to the exact same conclusion!!! :huh:  :blink:

    Don't want to upset the balance, but a few words about the build :P  :D  - she's really a very lovely ship Augie. Looking forward to your decision for the next build!
