The Plover Project -- Life in the Boat Yard (part 2)

We are still living in our little tree house here at the boat yard. The song by the Eagles, Life in the Fast Lane, is stuck in my head, but I'm singing:

Life in the Boat Yard, Surely makes you lose your mind.
Life in the Boat Yard, .........

Here are a few pictures showing what we've been working on:

Fastening fiberglassed panels to the bottom:

Measuring so we can install the sliders for the companionway hatch:

Major likes the new hatch cover for the propane locker on the aft deck. There are about a dozen coats of varnish on it, all for his lounging pleasure.

Lots of scraping, sanding and varnishing to be done.

Newly varnished bowsprit, stripped and sanded masts.
