I envy you being able to work on your boat but I don't even the weather coming your way.
Starting to get cool in mexico. Switched the AC to Heat 1st time today. Wife felt chilly. Pulled on a sweatshirt to walk to corner market to buy fresh tortillas, cigarettes (mine), 2 lt coca-cola, milk, donuts, avocados, bananas, and corazones (heart shaped cookies) for my wife. Spent $5. Winter is coming

Man don'tknow whats happening but we're basically working outside with little more than a light jacket on here. Temp. was 14 above two days ago . Other than a scattered day of rain i could laying up glass on the mold. Hope it hnags on for a few more weeks thats exactly what i'll be doing. The boys are still riding their motorcycles .

I'm happy for you. Hope it continues. I sailed on the Great Lakes for 10 years. I know how bitter cold it can get in northern climes

Its the end of the world as we know it... Still its good that we can get some work done

Ja -- any hits on your hull--passed on the info to a guy from down the coast--(Graham B.)he's looking for a hull to build into power yacht ---promoted it as a tugboat yacht style hull ---Geo.

Thanks for the lead Geo the fellow phoned me and talked himself out of it within 2 minutes of conversation. He seemed a bit confused on some things but very certain that he didn’t like the hull shape (I am not really sure why he called). I have it advertised at a reduced price on Kijji for some lucky bugger. Thanks anyway mate and good luck with your project John…

[Yobarnacle]

Scunthorp,
what type, size, hull do you have? I am comitted to the hull I'm refitting, but I'd be happy to noise it around to any interested parties I may encounter

[Scunthorp]

I have a 28 foot Polish lifeboat hull. 8 foot beam with a rounded stern( there are photos posted here and on Kijjij Halifax) She is solid fiberglass and very strong. Cheers John...

Just an update-boat is tucked away for the winter. Work will progress in the beginning of june after we have preped. and opened the B&B for the season. From june on it should be continious with only short interruptions completing a big. reno. project for a customer from California. There will be lots of photos and discussion when I can finally get into it on a regular time schedule. Non stop for the next 1 to 2 yrs. until launch time. Meanwhile the never ending tradeoff's in design continue.
