- Description: I’m filling the last bits of the backbone-hull connection, then sanding, cleaning and glassing the joints with tape. If the weather behaves, I’ll move on to the floor supports and bulkhead fillers.

Early morning work today - filling up the last bits of the backbone-hull connection which is not yet fully filled. This time I made sure the surface is smoother- I may be a slow learner but I do learn, eventually… :)

Now I just need to finish my coffee (no, not the first one - first jug…) and get to the other hull, which I sanded yesterday and clean it with acetone (because a cleaning solvent in west system is mainly acetone…) and then glass all these joints with tape so at least one hull is ready for the floors. Hopefully I’ll manage to glue in those floor supports I have been preparing the other day and maybe even do the bulkhead fillers under the floors - but that depends on weather, it is supposed to be be quite cool day. And then early finish today to prepare for Shabbat.

Eh, it is good to be making some progress finally!
