 Now that the boat is turned upright, it is time for the interior work.  The first job is fillets on all the joints and seams at the bottom.  You will see this in the pictures included this posting.  We both agree that it is a terrible job.  We are also fiberglassing the interior of the boxes with cloth and resin.  These jobs are awful-difficult working positions and very messy.  We have almost completed the back section of the boat, but decided to take a break from fiberglass work for a few days.  The problem is that we need to get them done and cured and completely dry so we can paint them with bilge paint.  In the meantime, however, Richard is doing some more fun things- building compartment covers, and figuring out floorboards, v-berth, and the foredeck supports.   He is also fitting the gas tank, as shown in picture number 2. These are much more fun than the fiberglass work!  Looks like more fillets and glass cloth tomorrow, though.
