It's time to start winding down my vacation and doing the hundred little things that need to get done before I head to sea again next week.
This past week I had mornings free to work on my little boat, which is now just about finished. I still have to do the lettering for the name and install the battery, radio control gear, rudder and servo motors, and after that I've got to put in 8-9 5lb bags of ballast to get her to sit at the water level.

Nicely done!
What's the bollard pull going to be? Will it be enough to tow you while float tubing? Just to make sure you clear the snags.
Impressive. Just curious, does your son have an interest in learning these skills from you?
