Slow progress - dust and disorder collects quickly
Some days are slow, like today. Anyway, see our navigation table tell tale Lyth compass:
Lyth compassAs you also can see, dust and disorder collects quickly.
We also worked on the head tank.
I mounted the discharge pump upside down three times. Did I say today was slow?
Head tank in the aft cabinAlso mounted the VHF and the aft navigation light.
(I got the new video. I don’t know if I have the tiime to upload it before going to Skåne tomorrow…)

What I want to know is how do you have time to do all this work and update your website too?

Updating the website takes not time at all compared to building a boat… Can sometimes be a motivator, though.

Dear Amos, you have to bear in mind that Matti was trained to write stuff and communicate he was never trained to build boats. Which shines through at times. 
Matti;
Seriously the blogging you’ve put in and the work that you, Teddy and Merike has done is fabulous. I’m just happy to come and sail with you when all this hard work stuff is over.

You are so modest Ricard. Wasn’t it you that taught me the most valuable of boat building skills? To know when poking a knife in the keel plank will only make you miserable; and that you are better off sailing instead.

That’s a special boat building skill that falls under- cost/benefit analysis. Don’t ever attempt it, there’s no going back.

“Dear Amos, you have to bear in mind that Matti was trained to write stuff and communicate he was never trained to build boats.”
So that is my problem, I never learned boat building or communicating.
And cost/benefit analysis seems like a pretty fuzzy concept when it comes to boats.

Amos, I never said that that Matti learned to communicate- he was however trained to.
Cost/benefit is not a fuzzy concept when it comes to boats, it’s absolutely useless in any way.
Cheers

I like that. Cost/benefit. It is of course useless. I think Philip Bolger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Bolger wrote something interesting about that in one of his books. Of course I don’t remember anything about it except that it had to do something about building a 12 ft long full-rigger.
