G9 minus five Perseverance is a work in progress

| |
Five days until the G9 Boatbuilders Gathering.

I think I mentioned in an earlier post that, I never intended for this boat to have more than a "workboat" quality finish. In many ways, this project has been more about wanting a boat, and proving to myself that I could build one. A blue-ribbon, classic boat show museum piece, she was simply never meant to be. 

So, aside from trying to do the best job I can on a bright-finished transom and foredeck, Ive accepted the rest of the finish to be, well... rough around the edges.

Still, some of those epoxy runs on Frame #2 were just irritating me. So, today I decided to sand them off, (or at least down), since I was already going to paint another coat over it, anyway.


Epoxy runs sanded off of Frame #2.

The underside of the breasthook needs some more paint, too

Theres still a lot of work to be done, just to get the boat ready to travel... let alone for her to be finished. But, shes getting closer. Perseverance is a work in progress. 

I guess we all are, each in our own ways.

Ill close with a quote from James, one of Jesus brothers:

"Let perseverance finish its work, so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

James 1:4 NIV
Peace.
