"...I'm back working inside the boat again ..."

Yesterday, for my birthday, I bought another 5 gallon bucket of resin.
Today, after almost 2 months of working on the stantion bases and having to go back to work, BIG YUCK, I've started installing more rib ssupports into the cabin overhead.  ... aawwhh ... the smell of curing resin ...   I've got 2 sets of bracing maybe I'll get the second rib in after dinner.  Right now my tummy is saying, "feed me".  Fried tators and ... I don't know.

Stantion bases installed

Here are all the stantion bases installed.  Safety tubing to follow.  The safety rails will be continuous fore and aft on either side 6 inches above the cabin roof.  You can see the line of the old teak rail, which was removed.  I may install a toe rail just like along deck edge.  Either side of the entrance hatch there's room on the cabin top for a 100 watt solar panel.  Also, 2 winches for sheet a storm jib, or anything else you want to sheet close in.
