Today is Halloween, and the boat is coming right along.  The frames are all in place, and we are fitting all the stringer pieces.  Before the day is out they will all be assembled.  The permanent installation of the stringers will then be the next step.  We are also fitting the keel today.  Boat building is a lot more fun when the large object in the middle of the shop starts to look more like a boat!  It is really fascinating to see how all these pieces go together.
Looking at the project at this stage, we are reminded of the preference on the Atlantic coast for fairly narrow-beam boats.
Lots of progress today-a few mistakes to correct-it is always good when you can pick them up early.
