Pirate Blogger catches up!!

Timeframe: September 6, 2012

As I mentioned at the beginning of all of this, this is my first shot at writing a blog, and I had about a year of our story to tell before you were caught up.
 
Well, here we are! September 2012. We should be able to keep things more current from here. Kathy and I have had many people asking about our progress and this should make it a lot easier to stay up to date.
 
Thanx for your patience!
 
 
 
 
Kathy has insisted all along that this be a "team" project which I think is great. To this point however, there haven't been many opportunities where we were both needed at the same time.
 
That all changed with the next phase of our build. Time to fiberglass!!! 
 

 
We applied the first coats of resin and sanded some more. We are finally back to a phase that shows progress. (no, instant gratification isn't part of OUR lives! :)
 
Just add a little cloth and yer done, right?
 
 
The reality is, it took Kathy and I almost a week to apply the glass cloth and the multiple layers of resin to top it off. We found out we work very well together even when the operation is tedious, sticky and of long duration. And the results of all this hard work....
 
 
WOW!!!
 
Nicely done, baby!
