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!

A "solid" foundation to stand on.

Spring break was great, but it is now time to kick it into overdrive and get this boat done!

While one group went to the boat to start working on finishing the painting and wall securing, Chris and Cole went to a local wood shop to plain down all our lumbar from the old high school which will be used as flooring for the rear stern of the boat, behind the cabin.  The local wood experts we even kind enough to sand all the edges to save some valuable time for us.

The rest of the crew started finishing the installation of the rear cabin wall, and varnishing all the trim work around the boat.  Andrew and Steven sanded our rudder down to grade and it is now ready to have epoxy applied and then be varnished before being re-attached to the stern.

Corin and Sarah even got a lot of painting done as well.  They painted the interior cabin with its second coat of white paint, while we are awaiting the bondo and caulk to dry on the new cabin wall.




On Thursday we will finish the second coat of paint on the rear of the boat, and we will cut the template for the flooring.
