Hi All-Finally got off my butt to take some pics of ROSIE. I have most of the cockpit seating and storage complete. The interior cabinetry is mostly complete. I am waiting for some material to arrive so I can spray the cabinet and drawer faces. Hope to have them complete this week. The interior painting has begun. I cut the window and port openings in the pilot house sides a couple of days ago. I love the new open look and how it makes the lovely profile stand out. It is the small details that add up to a pleasing look. Graham’s artistry really shines with little things like small changes in the oval port size in the forward cabin. They get slightly larger as you look aft. Something that might not be obvious but makes a subtle difference. The galley is coming along nicely. I bit the bullet and splurged for a WALLAS diesel/kerosene stove that doubles as a cabin heater. The countertop is plywood that has been coated with a very cool product from DAICH COATINGS. It has stone imbeded in the 3 part system and makes a really nice counter. Thanks to Henry Hassel, one of the BLUEJACKET builders for that recommendation. I plan to build the cuddy cabin roof soon and begin final exterior paint and deck coating. Unfortunately the pilot house sides and aft bulkhead will have to be removed to extricate ROSIE from the shop. Now only 9,090 details left! Ken

The four ounce will suck up much less epoxy— half as much?
