Since turning the boat over, I've learned a few things:

• If you want to break a drought, just have a large "bathtub" sitting out that you don't want water in.
• If you do any woodwork anywhere near such a tub, every bit of sawdust will wind up in the boat.

I've had to pump out rainwater several times. I have most of the bilge sealed moderately well now, so hopefully I won't get any particular damage, but I've got to get better shelter.

On the second point, I find that  working in a pile of sawdust that has nowhere to go can be a pain. We have to vacuum things out nearly every even that we work.With the boat upside down, you could just brush it off and let it fall. Not anymore.

In terms of getting real work done, Dane and I have put the side deck boards on. Its a lamination of 4 more layers (total of 6) of 1x lumber at the sheer. This leaves a 6" wide "deck" that will run around the sides of the hull and give a place to walk next to the cabin (while hanging on carefully).

Sidedecks

Boards have been laminated, planed off level and smooth on the top, and expoxy sealed and cracks/low places filled. Looks fairly nice.

Upright with decks

Next step is to start on the cabin uprights.
