Bad weather is not our friend

It's been 2 weeks with nothing that could be done to JB . . . except Dane has been busy in the shop, like I said, sanding down the mast.


That's it, hanging from Paul's ceiling

 Pretty, huh?  Imagine it all varnished--no more blotches--it'll be great!!!

Next up: Mr Bowsprit:

 

It was really windy today but I started sanding the topsides.  Paul says that it takes 3 years from taking a boat down to wood, for the paint to get to a point where the hull looks nice and smooth.  So this is year 2 and already I can tell the difference--this is so much easier than last year!

Mystic wooden boat show, here we come!  That is, if we get some decent weather and I can take the other half of the tarp off.
