Dear DGO,
Good luck with your project. Teal was the first boat I ever built.
It performs very well, despite of Bolger's misgivings in his book.
You'll have a blast with her.
What kind of grinding, and where, do you have to do? I just used
nails and Weldwood glue, and everything went together just fine. I
had a very minor leak in the stern. It only weeped when I was aboard;
the leak was out of the water when empty. I just poured some really
thick Weldwood glue in there, and that fixed her.
It's a shame about the oil leak on the Patuxent (I live in
Annapolis, Md.). I heard that it was a real mess. WAMU, one of the
local NPR stations covered it pretty well, as did the Washington
Post. I hope PEPCO is working diligently to clean it up.
This, unfotunately, this is part of the price we pay to run all
our electrical devices, including circular saws and grinders. It
makes us all uncomfortable, no doubt, when we're confronted by it.
Good luck with your project.
Take care,
Pete Reynolds

Well,
Got the sailing bits built on the TEAL, and starting that final round
of "Caulking" with thickened expoxy before I seal it up. I highly
recommend OHSA-approved particulate filters if you are using an angle
grinder as a wood-eraser. Basically making fast progress, and will
be ready for flat-water testing soon.
What is truely furstrating is that a local power company pumped
about $ 1/4 MILLION DOLLARS worth of fuel oil into the river where
I had intended to sail her. Right across the river from the boat
ramp. Unfortunatly, the local news stations
are out of DC, who was hosting the world trade stuff. Appearently
Police beating protesters sells ads faster than oil-soaked ospry.
There is still 80% of that oil that has not been cleaned up. So much
for testing on the Patuxent before braving the Bay..
