Boat progress


SPLASHDOWN!!!
Well, Monday’s launch was successful and went down without a hitch! Six and a half years of labor and over four decades of dreaming about this all came to reality in a single moment, there was no way to prepare for that. I will be putting the pictures of the launch and naming ceremony very soon, my heartfelt thanks for all who keep an interested eye out for us.
The big day is on the books!! Monday, Sept 14 Amnesty goes into the water for the first time, I will post some pictures of the launch day after nothing embarrasing happens. This day will mark the beginning of a seriously cool adventure and I will be able to share it with the rest of the world!! Thanks for your support, now watch what happens!Rigging day!And a new coat of paint!!Out of the woods......Boats shouldn't have to put up with this!

Having the boat in my yard was a good inspiration to keep working away
