I’m still working on this I decided I was done with the varnishing and wet sanded a bit and decided it looked how it’s going to look and moved on. I am now waxing it up with this Howard citrus shield and I am a couple layers in and really liking it but it’s still a little spotty and not sure if I should keep going or try a different product.

Feeling a little motivation to get this boat done so I pulled the broken rudder and remade it and added a couple finishing bits and carved out notches for the hinges. Drilling holes in this scared me at first but I’m going slow and doing it by hand. It’s going slow but with the weather worse I’ll have more time to get it done 

 

the motivation comes from my small little rc sailboat my wife got me and finding a wonderful little lake to use close by

it all came together nicely!

 

does the pond/lake have a name? It is good to be able to walk around and retrieve a boat when things go wrong and she drifts to the other side.

ask me how I know.

The pond (Hicklin lake)has decent access all around and is on a disc golf course it may not be the first place I go to test it that will be downtown at the wooden boat centers pond yatch pond shallow enough to wade to. I’m so close I can taste the finish line

Looks like a nice spot with easy access.

Myself, being situated between two of the of the great lakes (Erie and Ontario), I must regularly remind myself that not all "lakes" are massive.

I am think of the phrase from the famous Crocodile Dundee movie: "That's not a knife. This is a knife!"
