Poker: Reviewing those blog photos was a real pleasure. It's darned amazing what you and the Admiral have done with that boat. It may be a lot of work, but the boat is such a unique specimen, she needs to be the proud lady you are making out of it. Great work!
BTW, I hope you're sending Jay Benford some photos. He's accessible and he'd love to see one of his designs getting that kind of care and attention.

What an incredible conception, gestation and delivery.
How proud you two must be.
Time to start planning a second?
Larry I've been in contact with Jay, he is very interested in what we've been doing with his design. He seems like the kind of guy I'd like to sit and have a beer with and has invited us to stop by on our way south. Thanks for the suggestion.

Wallace, it's pretty amazing to me what you've done with your boat. You have some impressive knowledge, skills and a very helpful wife in Sharon! An impressive transformation.
What's the plan after day 23? N, S, E or W?
.....SW through the Keys, across the Gulf, through the canal, up the coast where you collect fair market for her and a handsome delivery remuneration.South + palm trees + beaches, Delaware, Chesapeake, Wicomico, Potomac, Dismal Swamp the St.Mary's, the St.Johns, Abacos, Eluthera .......
Sure love your boat.
What's the engine and displacement?
I like the dinette and wish we had one. They are kinda like the kitchen in a house .. The center of everything re people is always there. But I'm w you and I want to go boating again too.
Also think your rudder is interesting. Vented like a slotted wing flap? A bit like the "Y" type but different. Different always draws me in.

But, if you need to cut it short and get back to start the next project, I have access to a slip in Cartagena.
