Slats

It's been a while since I posted something here.  4 months time.  The winter was just miserable.  No work on the O'Day or the canoe.  No boat work anywhere!!  To to make matters worse we had a monster storm that blew out my temporary shed.    I'm just now getting back in business.  What I did get accomplished  was to make some slats to cover the interior cabin.  I did a test with 5 furring strips that I got at HD.   They turned out ok and I'll make  some more.

The boat didn't have the vbirth cushions with it.  They must have disigenerated along the way.  I found a junk shop right down the road that specializes in marine stuff.  He and cushions fro an O'Day 27. The cushions fit just like they belonged in a 25. The color was 70's brown.  I bought them and then dyed them blue.  I used navy blue dye but this is all that came out of it.  It's light blue but it does blend in.  I also got the other bolster done.

Moving day part two

So I called the marina Monday morning and talked to the shop foreman.  I asked him to look at the motor and see what he could do,  This marina has a very good reputation with outboards.    He called back later that day and said he didn't know how you got as far as you did on that motor.  Proceded to give a litney of what was wrong with the motor.  We bit the bullet and had him fix it.  We shoved off for the Chester river early on a Wednesday morning.  Wind out of the NE at 12-15.  We flew across the bay at 5 knots and made the Chester river in an hour.  Another hour and we  were at our new home.
