One deck down

It's a funny little quirk of building two schooners at once like this, and both of them unnamed at this point, that I'm never quite sure how to reference one to distinguish her from the other. If you call one vessel Schooner 1, are you not assigning some significance to that hull over the other? And doesn't it sound just a little like Doctor Suess? (Thing One and Thing Two). When talking about them here, we'll often refer to the schooner closest to either Plant 1 or Plant 2 (the grandoise names of the two buildings here at The Dory Shop Boatyard). But I think maybe the safest thing is to distinguish them based on location.

Having explained all of this, you can now look at the pictures and see that the gang has finished laying the deck of the eastermost schooner (!!) and are now working on the westernmost vessel. Meanwhile Jay has nearly finished those hatches he's been working on.

A view of the boatyard

Here's a short - and we mean micro - video to give you an idea of the scene in the boatyard these days. Unfortunately, it was taken while most of the boys were off picking up a load of boat lumber but Dave's there in the background, fussing with one of the transoms. We'll try to do this from time to time, hopefully showing a little more action.
