Our second day began in our boats office space. With nine of the original crew and a new additional deck hand, we began by creating a social contract. The contract was created by the students focusing on our boat, the crew and the shipyard and how the respect of all three will make this process easier and more enjoyable for everyone involved.
A community volunteer with years of experience introduced the crew to some more basic tools that we would be using on our boat. Determining groups based off the new task for the day, we started into work around the boat. One group was responsible for the removal of the paint on the outside of the boat. This process is taking longer than anticipated but not without the hard work of Connie, Corin and Sarah.
Chris and Justin were set with the task of removing the pieces of door to the cabin that were rotting through. Andy and Andrew were working on removing the remaining pieces of hardware inside the cabin including the glass windows which proved harder than anticipated. Lastly Steven, Tyler and Cole began removing paint from the back of the boat.
Aside from these physically demanding jobs Corin began thinking of a light weight and well designed idea seats for the back of the boat. The boat looks a lot different now at the end of day 2, as we started drafting letters to acquire more materials for the rest of our project. Day three will begin with a lot more sanding and prepping the boat for a fresh coat of paint.
