| Marty adds planks to his boat |
It was yet another glorious day in the books.
While the less skilled builders are constructing the planks designed for the deck of the boat, Marty and myself meticulously handcraft an authentic
model boat, identical to the life size Lobster Smack. Though a model is
believed to be easier to construct than the original, it is in fact far more
tedious. Each delicate piece must be aligned perfectly or the boat will not fit
together. This requires steady fingers and incredible patience. Marty and I
will continue the project until finished.

| Henry with the hand plane |
Bella and Alesandra decided to put
down the brooms and trash bags to make a wooden Brooks shield in honor of
Graham. They appear to be making progress with fantastic results.
In the basement, Connor, Sawyer and
John relentlessly shave away at the mass with the hand plane. The quality of
their work is enviable.

Here at the boat-building center,
slacking off is a rarity. Each and every member has a responsibility to fulfill
his/her obligation, nothing short of perfection. Thank you for reading.
