Moonshadow Accomplishments

Joanne and I met with Mike Rockett at the new Sundance building and got his buy in. The thing that I like best about Mike is his complete honesty. If he likes something, he is immediately exuberant, and if he doesn't, he is downright insulting. He is a helluva golfer, but probably would suck at poker. He assures us that the renovations can be achieved according to plan and that he is committing his efforts and resources. To us, that is money in the bank.

Meanwhile, progress on the Herreshoff Tender was slow and steady. The 3/8" Olkume plywood was ripped into three inch strips for the floorboards and fitted to the oak supports. The centerboard case was cut to fit and was initially sanded. I didn't get to epoxy anything, which is a setback because nothing will get done tomorrow due to the Pats-Jets game at the Darwin box.

Monday, we close on one phase of the school financing and I have to take room measurements to get the plans to Mike. Then we will implement a Microsoft Project analysis of the work and start to get granular on cost and schedule.

All in all, not a bad Saturday. It will be a hectic holiday season.
