As you may have heard, July 4 was a strange dis­ap­point­ment: after a gru­el­ing week­end of all work and no sleep, we fin­ished the boat in time. It looks great! But were pre­vented from launch­ing it by the rude State Police offi­cer guard­ing the only pub­lic boat ramp on the lower Charles.

So the boat sits, await­ing launch, hope­fully this week­end. Then it’s off to long-term stor­age in New Hampshire.
