Roll Roll Roll your Boat

My boat moves out to see the light of day.








The boat and jig together are pretty heavy.


I can not even lift one corner of the boat.


It feels like it is fastened to the ground.



I use pipes for rollers. Sally and Judy help me roll the boat out into the driveway.









Hoping for a soft landing.



Many thanks to my neighbors the Baldwins and the Ciolfis for their able assistance.


























Back to bed right side up.















Goodnight

Zenos Paradox resolved

The stem of my boat was not moving and yet I have been having trouble reaching it.





Finally I remembered Marks solution to the paradox.


I got as close as I could to the stem, then I bridged the gap with some epoxy thickened with wood flour.








Voila!


The hull planking is complete at last.


Next the boat needs to be rolled over so that the temporary forms can be removed and the interior finished.
