The Lower Planking: (30:00 hours)

I have started on the lower planking and am moving from the wale down. I am trying to use the least number of drop planks and stealers possible.

Port Side Paint: (37:00 hours)

When done with the planking I proceeded to stain the wood above the waterline and paint it white below the waterline. I still need to do some touching up on the color.

Hey Lex,
She is looking real good. I especially like the scarf joints you've incorporated into the wale. I hope to see more.

Thanks Raymond: the scarf joints in the wales are only there because my planks weren't long enough but I may scribe more into the surface later to keep it from looking like the planks where 40 feet long.
