I finally managed to get back to working on the boat after a very long time. I owe this to my son who was visiting for a week and kept insisting that we work on the boat. We managed to remove the bowsprit and some of the toe rail. I've been so busy with work that I couldn't find any time to get out to the boat. I guess I should feel lucky that I have so much work since so many don't these days. Working on it during the day these days is impossible as it gets very hot in there. After removing the bowsprit I removed the forward decking in handfuls. The Samson posts didn't look so good either. Now I get to add rebuilding the bowsprit and the Samson posts to the list.
