My Wife fell and fractured her hip.

Ouch! I hope all is going well and that you enjoyed Christmas. The boat yard can always wait until spring.

[John Ruy]

I’m back in the ship yard… My wife is recovering well from her hip surgery and doing well. 
 

I got back to work on the Klondikes Hull. 

First coat of primer…

Cheers 🍻

 John, as good as it is to see you back working on the Klondike the good news regarding your wife's recovery is even better. 

[Jim Lad]

Good to hear that your wife's recovering well, John.

John: I really like how you captured the lip on the bow where the hull meets the deck. . A very distinctive characteristic of the Klondike.. Nice job!!! Keep the pics coming.

Nice detailed plans are helpful. I did notice that uniqueness about the Klondike’s deck. However, the Robert E Lee I built had the decks Cantilevered much further over the hull.

I still have to add those timbers supporting the deck past the hull. 

Cheers 🍻
