About Me

Thanks to all of the help from Mandy Eagle-Farrar and Kathleen Mansure during the 13-14 school year in getting our blog up and running again. With the help of student insight, Rachel will be taking over much of the blog work for this year unless there is a student or two that get inspired to run the blog. Check out all of the amazing trips we've been on this semester!

Boat Day 4




 Today started with everyone scraping more paint off the boat.  Connie and Rachel worked along the  rails on the outside of the boat, while Justin, Cole and Andy scraped paint throughout the inside hull and cabin areas.  This was a long and tedious process, but is very important to the quality of the finished boat, shown through the sanding on the outside hull, which is now ready for paint.



The final pieces of exterior hardware were also taken off today, the rudder mounts as well as the last hanger on the hull.




 
Andrew is seen here scraping the inside of the cabin, getting all the loose paint off the side walls ready for sanding and paint next week.  You can also see that we removed the rear door and wall which will be replaced with new wood and a new look soon.  Corin and Chris worked together to design an outline for the new single piece of wood that will cover the cabin and house the door for entry to this shelter from the rough seas we will be encountering on our trips.  Andrew said that by the time he is done working on the cabin, we will all stay protected from the pirates we will surely see while sailing on Watauga Lake.
