Tom,
You could be building the first glow-in-the-dark Micro. You could dispense
with lights for night running.

The weather is finally giving us a bit of a break. For months it
seems that every storm in the USA takes a short cut across my
backyard. I now have the hull (sides & bottoms) together, bottom
glassed and keel batten attached. The self-bailing cockpit (my
adaptation is ready for glassing. The mizzen mast is four sided and
pieces are cut for the main mast.
I have a friend who works at the Univ. of Pennsylvania. She has
access to lead radioactive shielding. So far I have 120 lbs. of
cannisters for shipping isotopes. Their radioactive disposal person
has more shielding as soon as he gets around to certifying that it is
not radioactive.
It's starting to look like a boat.

I have a friend who works at the Univ. of Pennsylvania. She has
access to lead radioactive shielding. So far I have 120 lbs. of
cannisters for shipping isotopes. Their radioactive disposal person
has more shielding as soon as he gets around to certifying that it is
not radioactive.
It's starting to look like a boat.
Yo listees,
Attached the sides to the midships frame and stern transom today. Would
have done the bow transom too, but noticed a technical error. Made another
one. This boat is voluminous!!! I'm doing the navigator version and won't
get to visualize that additional volume for some time. As always, when a
boat go 3 dimensional, I'm walking around it and saying, "What a trip!"
Rennie
PS Anybody know why Bolger didn't go for external chines? Think I'd gp
that way next time I build one.
