    Day 17

    Rained all day!:( :(

    Day 18

    Made a lot of dust! The other side has not been touched!
    Ran out of filler!

    Weather for tomorrow is forecast to be bad.

    Today was beautiful, sunshine all day, really got a lot
    done.

    Faired the entire hull and got the bottom completed,
    this side needs quiet a bit of cosmetics.

    Thanks,

    I am almost sure this will be my last build. With the grace
    of God I will get it done. If not, then that is what was meant
    to be.

    Thanks Manie;

    I know it a little early for the daily report, but it ain't gon'a
    be no different later!

    Work on the rudder and dagger board case later today.

    Help a little with the house work today, someone seems to
    think the saw dust in the house may be my fault??

    I am very surprised no one has commented on my
    license plate.

    Day 19

    Day 20

    All the holes are plugged, sanded, filled, sanded, checked,
    sanded, filled, sanded!

    The hull is wiped, checked, re wiped and the first coat of
    sealer applied.

    24 hours, re sand, reseal and do it all over again!

    I hope they are monel nails? - Fanie and lots of others will be upset by this flagrant abuse of the "glue/screw/nail/nuts & bolt issues" where is the poxy epoxy and "cloth"? to hide that scarf joint before Jim sees it and wants to smoke it?

    Seriously, looking good - I look forward to some videos of some excellent sailing jibes, broaches and other entertaining activities... :D:D:D:D:D looks like it could generate lots of fun times....
