Whiskey plank placed :)

My head was spinning at all the projects dovetailing throughout the week. Thanks to Greg and Josh for setting the rhythm and managing the do-se-do’s. This week Gregg and Martin completed planking and after the whiskey plank was set we all had a toast to the crew and the Sea Wolf. The term “Whiskey Plank” comes from shipwrights of old. When the last plank of a hull is set, alas the most difficult of them all, whiskey is passed around and a toast is made to the completion of the planking work.  In concerto Roberto is rebuilding a section of deck, Diana and Kelley are prepping the walls for painting- taping off and priming, and Josh is braising off the bottom zincs while Crystal and Jeff are cementing seams and priming the hull. Let’s not forget Keith and Mike working on engine and mechanical system maintenance. Walt is working on getting our wheelchair lifts in good working order…full crew, lots of laughter and working hard. Click on the individual photo for a complete description. Thanks for visiting! by  Kimber
