The September 2024 photo and now is nearly unbelievable! You got so much work done on her! Congratulations. And three more boards! Easy-speasy (or is that just a landlubber, non-carpenter saying that)? I salute you guys! Onward!!!!!
I think I was saying "just" for months and then I gave in to the fact that it all takes 4x longer than I ever imagined and takes lots of tools, grit and USD. But we have come a long way, baby! And thank you for appreciating that. Xx
Oh I certainly do. Paul built a house for us w/ one carpenter after he first retired before MX and one really appreciates how long everything takes! The architect was really cool, we were all so suited for each other; he designed it so that every board in the house including the huge beams they sandwiched for the ceiling, could be picked up by 2 men. Paul's always been a carpenter, plumber, electrician in spare time at old houses he'd buy, fix up. He also had a 30 ft Coronado years ago. Think he still yearns for the high seas.
My sentiments exactly Scott! Not a chance in hell Switter, will I ever be done with this dynamic vessel...interesting all the ways all of us, people places things support each other, isn't it?? Thank you as always for your quotes and wisdom. A reason to smile....J
You are SO CLOSSSEEE!!! Gosh, does it feel the last few miles of a long road trip? The ones that seem to take the longest?
She's going to be so solid when she goes back in the water. I'm excited for you.
Many steps to go but that is a giant leap, as they say...thank you my friend!!
I love Steadfast’s smile, close her up though. You can always paint a smile on her, ha ha.
I’ve been really busy on Island Grace but seeing the light this week. Maybe get you two out for a cocktail 😎
I'm so impressed with all of the work that has gone into Steadfast!
Hey Miss Lindsay! I had no idea what we were in for, and yet...someday it will be back in the water but never 'done'...or so I'm told...! J
i'm sure you will - one day!
What a journey !! Steadfast indeed is a fitting name. Fair winds ✨🙌⛵️
I appreciate you being here Lyss! Can't wait to experience them again.
God that sunset photo is stunning. What a beautiful difficult rewarding task you’ve taken on, my friend!
The photo-- just happened to be on a friend's boat having a cool one. It'll get some mileage, I'm sure! THANKS!

Those skills are priceless, they bring both joy and occupation. Ah, and a sailor, too! What a diverse life you have led!
The new stem looks wonderful … 😎🙏✌️
Thank you, Janice. You inspire me to keep plugging along on my thousands of projects.
But then what, if I finish? Confucius says, “the man who finishes his house dies.”
Be careful, be very careful.

Fortunately … a boat is never done … 😎🙏✌️
Thanks for chiming. Hope you're getting time on the water.
Right Scott? Not a chance our vessels ever be defined as 'done.'--- J
You can just see how beautiful she’s going to be.
It's a vision, in more ways than one!! She's got my dreams in there, too!
Thanks Prue!
