We've had a couple of little snowfalls -- an inch one morning, and three inches another day. Neither lasted long on the ground, and we've had a pleasant stretch of late-fall weather -- high 40s or low 50s during the day -- just enough to get my fast West epoxy to kick. I've been able to keep doing a lot of little epoxy jobs -- got Cormorant's upper leeboard guard laminated in place yesterday, and before that I epoxied in the backer boards for the leeboard pivot, for instance. I'm very grateful for the mild weather. This time last year we had snow on the ground that lasted till April.

I'll attach a recent pic of Cormorant with the cabin roof and deck on. Very exciting. I've even been online pricing out -- of all things -- slabs of foam to make seats/mattresses with in the cabin. Now I'm starting to feel a bit more like Martha Stewart and less like Howard Chapelle.

All best,
Garth
