We're back from a brief hiatus!
On Monday we decided we needed a change of scenery, so we headed to the big city (aka Keene, NH) to pick up some necessary supplies for our trip. We loaded up on rope, tarps, waterproofing material, and other odds and ends for first aid and boat repair kits.
Yesterday we were feeling refreshed and got back on track. It was an exciting day in the shop...our trusty steed is really, REALLY starting to look like a boat!
Brian and Keith worked on the gunwales, the yoke and thwarts, and the deck plates while Leslie and I (Allie) worked on caning the seats.
Here are some photos of our progress:
