4/24/11 -- Easter Sunday. Another day of rain that pretty much screwed up the Easter car show in FP. Jeff was there with three Moons, and I met Clifford Flath, who has built a Se7en.
Phyllis flew in from DC and took Metro to FP where I met her. Then I went to shop and 'glassed the aft-most bay of the boat's chines. I'm not getting any better at it.
Also pieced-in another bay of inwales, and made a very rough mock-up of gunwales at stem. I think this is the way I'll complete them.

4/25/11 -- Finished taping the chines today.
The cloth should arrive any day now.
4/26/11 -- Returned SOUPER to 3103 after driving it to "regular" Tuesday lunch. Spent some time cleaning up the shop and routing the top ends of the butt splice scabs, so the inwales will lie flat. Carl offered his planer again, so I'll pick it up Thursday at his place.

4/27/11 -- The cloth, oarlocks and sockets arrived from Raka on Tuesday. Today I unfolded the cloth and will roll it for transport to the shop. Tomorrow I'll pick up the planer from Carl.

Wondering about oar length?
4/28/11 -- Picked up the planer from Carl, and stopped by West Marine
and Bass Pro Shop to look at oars. (I'm now thinking 6' - 6" will be a good length for this boat.)
