BTW there's no EEK post icon...

At any rate - pictures from yesterday - which was way better than Tuesday:

James has the breaker panel in:

The trophy shop an amazing job, and when things get caught up, I'll go back and update the threads where some of these things were discussed. Owen has it all wired, everything is just tucked in the box.

James and Davis riveting the gudgeon:

First Sarah got winches and cleats on the mast:

And then wonder of all wonders, she got halyards!!!!! First time in seven years! (The strangest things just make my day....) Davis and getting the rigging done has just been a Godsend...

I cannot believe we're putting stuff in like this (not refinished, or even sanded in some cases), but the companionway is now usable!

Last and certainly not least, a call for help went out and Jose and Arnold came over (after working all day at St. Augustine Marine) and completed all of the puttying on the starboard seams.

They'll be back this evening to do the port side and get bottom paint on starboard.

Triple Burner called and is coming down to help and Claudia and David are in route.

I think we're going to make it.

No, I know we're going to make it...

Jose and Arnold are bringing 2-4 more folks from the yard. If it rains, they'll be over early, if not, it'll be an all nighter...

(Pray for rain ;) :D)

Margo, don't rush the deck caulking. If it needs to be done after launching so be it. Hopefully Jose and Arnold will be able to do it without tape, which makes for a nicer job (not to mention much faster). Just don't rush it.

You go girl! We can feel the excitement...and exhaustion.

And may Mr. Murphy and his law be conspicuously absent this week.

Well Margo, you're getting close to the mark. Remember what I said a long time ago: don't rush it !!! Time you think is saved by hurrying turns out to be time wasted. After all this, what's a few more days?

We got to the warehose about 5. The fearsom threesome (Jose, Arnold and Margo) were laying the interlux seam sealer (or should I say paying?) to the port side. James was in the bilge hooking up the pumps and other stuff. They had filled the bilges with water and there very few drips. Ran the pumps and emptied it out. Triple Burner did come down from Ponte Vedra and was finishing up the forward skylight glazing. It is amazing to see the progress that has been made since the last time I was here.

Can't wait until tomorrow, gonna be fun! and Launching on Saturday! You guys still have time to get here!!!

That panel looks really nice. So does the boat.

Here's the thread about the panel:

Boy, this is really terrific. Rushing like mad for Saturday.

Listen to Hwyl, though. He's got an awful lot of experience.
