It's 2021 and I daren't calculate how long it is since we last did anything to the boat, let alone how long it has been since we started (yes, I know I could just look on the blog history to the right).
We hit a new phase in the project last weekend: Joe has sold his house, which created something of a challenge in the boat storage department, not to mention the need to house some old friends such as Edward the Compressor, the famous spokeshave, the band saw and numerous chisels, clamps (you can never have too many) and planes.
The short term solution was to shift everything to my house. I'd like to think that that might then lead to me doing the last few bits of the build: we now have a deadline, which is Joe's possible departure to England. We must row the Waikato, soon. Thank goodness for Covid, which means he isn't going for a while...
