Portlight fail

It took a day and a half to get all the rotten plywood down from the cabin walls. The remaining half day just wasn't enough time to cut the acrylic for the windows and get them up with 4200. It was supposed to rain last night so we had to make a late run to walmart for a giant tarp to cover the gaping giant holes in the cabin. Not being great with tarps we created sort of a wrinkled ball tied down over the boat. I hope it stayed on last night. It wasn't the easiest thing to try to engineer in full dark.

We lost a lot of time gossiping, too. Our neighbor sold his boat on eBay to this guy: garthkiser.com. Based on his blog he and his girlfriend appear to be professional knockabouts with a fantasy of sailing. The club launched the boat for them but they had a ten minute sailing lesson, no dinghy to go ashore, no food , no water, and no acquaintances in the area. They had bicycles they took aboard also for land transportation. Just to be clear the boat they bought is 27 feet long. Good luck you two, hope you make it wherever you are headed.
