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!

Really Coming Together (with bondo)

Today, we had a smaller crew than normal, with only 8, but the absences were more than made up for by 5 community volunteers. We also had our normal 2 staff members, Scott and Joe. In the way of work, Justin and some of the community volunteers began sanding pieces of the boat that were coated with polyurethane, excluding the hull.
  Connie and Sarah continued to cut out templates for fiberglass on various areas of the boat. They have been working extremely hard on this portion of the project and now have only the starboard side of the boat left to complete before we can start to fiberglass the boat. 

Chris and Cole continued filling holes with Bondo. At this point they have worked along the back of the boat in filling spots there as well as filling the hole under the window in the cabin.
Corin and Scott marked the piece of wood for the door area, which we can hopefully cut this Thursday.  To me, it seems like the boat is really starting to come together; we're making great progress and getting lots done. Look in on us again this Thursday, and have a good week!
