YEAR IN REVIEW - 2008

Boat purchased in December of 2007. Thank you Lynette!
Visited boat in March in Lyme, CT-returned with mizzen mast, booms (3) and a truck load of sails, rigging, etc.
Leigh Smith, friend from Portsmouth, N.H., helps Richard Fewtrell, boatwright in Lyme, get boat ready for shipping.
Worked on pad behind garage.
Boat arrived in May.
No boat stands and driver wouldn't attempt delivery to property.
Boat interims in old WalMart parking lot.
Built cradle.
Rebuilt cradle on borrowed trailer.
Boat gets delivered without incidence.
Built a 26' x 45' boat shed over boat-mostly by myself with some help from farm hand.
Mario built a cradle for ballast with 5" pipe.
Started dismantling the port main cabin the last few days of December.
Also started collecting some new bigger tools like a bandsaw, dust collection, drill press . . .
Looking forward to 2009.
