I have seriously underestimated the time needed to prep these narrow side decks!  
I had almost everything ready yesterday evening- or that’s what I thought! - and expected to quickly dry-fit them and epoxy everything in place.  
Day later at 5pm I barely finished dry-fitting these little things. But they are getting epoxied in place tomorrow even if I have to work till midnight!!  
I’m going home(office!) to Scotland next week and I would like to leave as little to finish as possible before laminating in January. So I want to close the main cabins and make bow cabins decks before leaving…
