She is out of the water, being inspected, the welder has cut the steel out of the hull on both sides, so that the large steel tube can be installed for the thruster.    All is going well, we were there yesterday , and the tube is in, Vaughan and Isaac are painting the primer on the new steel, and over the primer goes a black bottom paint.       All the zincs have been replaced, Vaughan is fixing some spots here and there, sanding them down to the steel and repainting.   She is looking very good, ready for a large cruise to the North!!!!
