Rabbeting on

 

I tackled cutting the rabbets on the egdes of the planks today. Lots of potential for stuff ups but I think I got them right. Finished the gains, drilled lots of little holes, and at last the assembly has begun. I only got in about a dozen of the copper wire ties. Probably a few hundred to go, but all journeys begin with a single step.

I really dont mind the lockdown, it gives me a chance to focus without being distracted. But I do miss sailing. Sandra sent through some fantastic photos from last week's outing.

She got one of me talking to Roman, the other altona Bay cat ketch owner. So I now have photographic proof that boat exists. I have made contact with Roman subsequently via the WBA, and look forward to some cat ketch outings.
