I been spending a lot of time processing and organizing everything that was donated to me. I finally am finished and I'm preparing to take the boat out of the yard soon. I did an experiment with the dried palm leaves left over from some fronds I kept from awhile back. I have to say it came out okay. I'm posting this blog from my netbook. It's way more easier than blogging from a cellphone; not to forget that it's way faster also.

.I was able to work on the boat over the weekend. I decided to loosen the binds on both ends of the boat. Hopefully the fronds will stay upright. I attached the fronds at the bow with some metal I made into fasteners. I'm plan on doing the same thing to the fronds at the stern of the boat. In order for me to be able to straighten the fronds at each end, I had to raise the boat higher. The next thing is to add more glue in order to seal all the fronds in place, which will strengthen the hull over all. A rubber sealant will then be applied once all the fronds on the outside of the hull is rock solid.
