Keep on Pushin’

though it may look like it, this is not communist propaganda

And so the push begins, or continues or…..well….we’re still at it.  We got the sturdy new mast step back, I spent the better part of two hours yesterday drilling two holes in it.  Apparently drilling through thick steel is tough, who knew?  Lara and I are hustling to get all the out of the water projects finished this weekend so the boat can go back in the water early next week and I can start the rebuild.  I got the engine block and head back from the machine shop last week, it’s just been riding around in my car taking in the scenery for going on 7 days now.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and my first boatyard experience has been a blast. Here are some pics from the work over the last week:

that wrench is entirely too shiny! where’s the blood and goop and marks of epic maintenance battles! (sweet photo!)

good update, really nice to see the pics too. I hear you on the drilling through steel! (especially stainless, what a bitch)
