While my family was off enjoying this:


(JP w/ his favorite head gear and the view of the Bay from their seats at ATT Park where they watched the Giants defeat the Dodgers.)
I was getting in a little of this:
Mast step started:

1st coat of primer on the deck and foot bensons placed:

And companionway trimmed out:

I decided to leave the bensons bright rather than paint them.
They look awesome and serve as a nice reminder that it is a wooden boat after all.
I also got started on the spreader brackets which I am fabricating. I hope that fiberglass brackets against an aluminum mast is ok. (I understand that carbon fiber against aluminum is a bad idea......any input here is welcomed!)
It feels great to get in a couple of solid hours rather than just 1 or 2 here and there. I need to quit my day job.....(just kidding Molly).
