Angels Wings' drop-boards were originally made of plywood for some unknown reason. Probably seemed like a not altogether bad idea years ago, but over the years despite some emergency care, Wings drop-boards had begun to delaminate. This past winter they finally came apart completely. We'd hoped they'd survive until we could get Wings up on the hard for a more complete refit. However plywood being plywood, they delaminated on their own schedule, not ours.

So, Deanna not at all pleased with the embarrassing sight of Wings delaminated boards, dashed down to the lumberyard, bought some general purpose pine and in an afternoon or so, sawed, routed, stained and varnished an emergency set that will probably serve for a number of years, while we attend to more vital matters. The "temporary" boards turned out nicer than we'd expected and once again Wings cabin is modestly secure - and, more importantly, the water stays outside instead of seeping through myriad cracks and seams in the hopeless plywood boards.
