Don’t forget to put the Morgan somewhere safe.
Joking aside Bill, good luck with Hellene. I've just been looking at your weather news and it's terrifying.
Thanks everyone for your concern. We reassessed our future situation and decided to move to a safer location about 150 miles away.

Hello everyone,
Finally got back to building. I was able to finish installing all of the bulkheads. The fit was very good and no adjustments were needed.

Hello Uwek,
Thanks for the birthday wish.

Already the shape begins to form. She's not exactly graceful in her lines is she? I'll think of her as 'workmanlike'.
I'm happy to see you back in the shipyard Bill.
Hi Smithy,
Yes, she does have an interesting shape. It is good to get back to work,

Hello Everyone,
I spent a good part of the shaping the stern counter block. The wood is bass/lime. I still have a little sanding to do to get it correct.

Hello everyone,
I've gotten the counter glued into place. It has been sanded to match the curvature of the deck.

That's nice shaping of the transom block.
I'm following you along in my instruction book and was wondering why the slots for the transom framing and the hole for the rudder aren't required to be cut out before gluing the block to Bulkhead O. It seems an easier thing to do the cutting first. Can you see their reason?

Hi Smithy,
I just felt I would be able to align the transom framing slots and the rudder post hole better with the counter in place. I have seen on other post that most builders cut the hole and the slots before gluing the counter into place. I find that a lot of times I just see things through a different set of eyes.
