This could possibly be the most hilarious name I've ever seen. No joke, it's real. I'll leave it up to you to decide if it's for a man or woman. Feel free to guess. I'll admit, I was wrong on first impressions, but I didn't actually see Dudley.
This means nothing, has no importance and does very little to further the human race. Please forgive me, I may have just set us all back a few steps. But seriously, have you ever heard of somebody with the last name Commander?
People are working on the boat. People besides me. It feels good to know that something is happening when I'm not up there. It's worth whatever it costs me...it helps me sleep at night. I'd rather pay somebody to run a sander than take Tylenol PM or drink a bunch of wine to go to sleep. Or, my latest trick is to read. I think I'm down to about one page of sentient comprehension before I'm gone.
More pictures coming soon.

This weekend we cut four new portlight holes. While it seems rather mundane, it was quite significant. To expand the size of the hole cut into the "house" of the boat is quite risky business. If you cut it too large for the new portlight, it's pretty hard to put it back. So, we measured carefully and let 'er rip. They came out pretty well. Two more just like it to go.
Bob should be finished with the galley by the end of this week. I'll probably have him do a couple more things for me while he's down there.

It is June 13th. We are nearing the Summer Solstice and one of the most wild parades I've ever seen. The Freemont Summer Solstice Parade. Every year I comtemplate the possibility of joining the brigade of naked bikers in full body paint. Every year I chicken out - or allow wisdom to prevail - or both.
Anyway, we've now got Bob Bennet started re-building Epilogue's galley. He's using a combination of existing features and building some new ones into the design. He's an exceptionally talented man. He did most of the wood work on the Safari Spirit but hangs his hat on his passion, which is making custom furniture. www.rhbfurnituremaker.com Needless to say, we're lucky to have him doing this little project for us...and he's giving us a great deal at that, as long as I clean up after him each day.
