More pictures and less essays. I'm wondering if people find my blogs boring or I haven't made my blog easy for people to find on Google search?

I noticed that the trunk that's at the bow started sliding down from it's original position. Patience is my best friend at the moment.

Looking at two pieces of palm tree trunks, it dawned on me that I could use them to add more height to the bottom of the hull, so it will sit higher in the water.

Creating this boat seems like it is dictating instructions on how it's going to look by the materials that's available. I was thinking that the next boat will not look the same because you can not purchase the materials I used in making the Auset Fronds, in a store. In order to produce another boat with the same design would require getting really creative with the materials I'm able to find. That wouldn't be difficult because there are palm trees everywhere in these parts, and many tree are pruned or cut down due to growing in the wrong places. Yo
