Winter projects on the David B are varied. Jeffrey is working on systems, Sarah is always on top of newsletters and helping people with their reservations, Matt is busy with odd jobs, and when I'm not doing marketing tasks, I also get fun jobs like recovery the cushions.

The Seattle Boat Show starts this week! On Monday, Christine is excited to be part of a panel of talented women who will share how being on the water has inspired her through community, learning, challenges, art, and activism. We hope to see you there. It's Monday, Feb 3 at 4pm and part of Women's Day at the Boat Show.

Bending on a new hot and steamy plank.

After the plank steams for a couple of hours to make plyable, we clamp it to the boat to put a bend and a twist into it. Once the plank cools, it has the right shape. Jeffrey then takes it down, makes some final adjustments to fit it in, then fastens the plank to the boat's frames.

The steam box arrived yesterday. Thank you to for setting us up!

Boatyard time! The most wonderful time.of the year.

We've been boatyard busy the last couple of weeks. We removed a few planks, and we were pleased that there were fewer to replace than we expected.

We also started preparing the new planks. And for those who are curious, the new planks are Port Orford Cedar. They smell delightful. Stay tuned for the story behind the wood. That's coming at a later date.

We also took advantage of a few days of dry weather to do some painting.

If all goes well, we should be steam-bending planks mid-to-late next week.
