Like I hoped, today I was able to finish fastening all of the pieces of cherry that make up the gunwales. Everything is glued and screwed and I'll leave the boat alone and go enjoy the weather outside.

We got hammered last night with 6" of snow followed by sleet followed by rain followed by temps in the 20's. It isn't easy shoveling but we've got one of those blue bird days with bright sunshine that we don't often get in this part of the world. I almost don't mind shoveling. Almost.
