Taking down the foremast and bowsprit

The month of January

 Building a framework for the tarp

 one side all tucked in :)

 Scraping out the seams, they are still pretty tight, so I am just cleaning out the caulking and some of the cotton where it is loose.

Megan D Day 34 and 35

 Installed 2 heavy bronze 8' portholes

 they fit nicely in the old window openings inside the cabin

 Having to replace the bulkhead separating the aft cabin and the engine room.

 One side done!

 Taking out all the old rusty iron that was used for internal ballast, this will be replaced with lead

I'm estimating about 2000 lbs worth of what looks like old grader blade material
