Hi folks;



Sunday:

Big D continued varnish work and the painting crew got the 2nd coat on the
hull. The rest of the guys got the day off.



Monday:



1. Cole is working in exhaust trunks and side access. Eddie is putting
on a white barrier coat and these 3 spaces are done.
2. Billy is hooking up new blowers to add much more air to engine room.
This will increase engines efficiency.
3. 2 welders and 2 fitters working on last hatch plus building a new
battery box with a weather tight access on wiring.
4. Electricians pulling wire to mains and to bridge.
5. Mechanics working on fuel system.
6. Dharyl and Anthony working on varnish work in galley.
7. Painters painting green guard rail and palomino bootstripe. When
finished, they will bondo upper deck area.
8. Aaron is making a pattern to replace a baffle plate in bow water
tank.
9. Roy is working where necessary.
10. Frank & Steve are chasing parts and making arrangements for other
work to be done.



PS..Several people have asked when the Caterpillars went into the boat.
Well it was back in 1993. We have done 3 major overhauls and the engines
had approximately 60,000 hours of use.

That is all for now...
