The Love Boat 2-14-12

The Love Boat was a popular television show from the late 1970's which involved the crew having romantic and funny adventures throughout.  This show inspired the crew today as we put some more tough loving into our boat today, Valentines Day.  "promising something for everyone and a course for adventure..." (from the original theme song of The Love Boat.)

We stared out with goals for the crew to accomplish over the next few work days.  The crew is really starting to take ownership in their project now as goals became very evident before work even started on the boat.  Connie and Sarah worked and have now completed the scraping and sanding on the top deck of both the port and starboard as seen from the pre and post sanding pictures above.

Corin and Chris finished the outline (made from blue board) for the rear wall of the cabin and have now started designing the new door which will provide entry into the cabin to gain shelter from cupids arrows while on the open sea.

While Corin and Chris were working on the door, the rest of our crew was busy sanding and scraping.  Justin, Cole, and Andy were working on the inside hull, as Tyler and Andrew worked to disassemble the mast and all its hardware, careful to document every piece and its location.  They had help from Zeb, a community volunteer and an avid sailor.

 Andrew continues to draw inspiring pictures in his down time around the shop to keep everyone in good spirits and working towards a common goal.  His artwork will be showcased throughout our blog occasionally as he feels like taking a break the hard work hes been contributing to the crew.
