Ringing in 2015 on Arctic Loon!

The last few days of 2014 were fairly productive. We installed the port and starboard chain plates, a port hole, thruhulls & seacocks. I even started polishing some of the bronze. It always feels like things are moving slowly but it partially because with every project, we have to search for the correct screws and bolts amongst everything that came with the boat!

We decided that we would celebrate New Years Eve on Arctic Loon, so we cranked up the heater (it's below zero here right now), used a couple thruhulls for candle holders, made pizza and drank Prosecco, all under a few blankets! Our first new year resolution is that next new years, Arctic Loon is floating!

We are off to a great start for 2015 because Ellery just installed the last thruhull, which means Arctic Loon could actually float right now!
