Post-Christmas chain plate installation

Today, we scraped off the old paint and caulking from the chain plates and washers. Then we installed the starboard side chain plates. It turns out that the highest bolts were a little challenging to reach inside and tighten. We appreciate having Ellery's brother, Murray helping us out today!

Sailboat Puzzle

We have busy with Christmas festivities but since our last post, the structure is up. This is great because it has been raining heaps on the BC coast and now we can work on Arctic Loon under cover. It is like a puzzle putting everything together but Ellery is happy with the accomplishments so far. The skylight and hatch are in, as well as a few of the thru-hulls.
