Well. It has been a busy few days. Moving to our winter shelter - it is getting a bit cold lately - and working on the remaining hull panels.  
That is something I have definitely underestimated time for. But after all the stress, all the mistakes I’m so happy to see that I managed, after all, get it right.  
It is so good and gratifying to see panels fit ne after another almost like a glow. Yes, they need some tweaking on the edge since they were not cut too precisely but it is just a minor thing and me completely expected. But major things - the edge between panels and the bow end fit snugly and precisely where they are supposed to fit.

That feels really great. I’m so happy now 🙂

(And my commute now includes a bus trip 😂)
