Oh No It happened again

For those of you getting a chuckle out of my photos and novice questions, It happened again. I just placed my Sheer strips on my expedition single last night. I went to bed dreaming of running my hands over a freshly sanded hull. How much trouble it will be to make the tapered joints, and worrying how the hell am I gonna get my fat ass in there to wet out the inside seam tape and make an end pour. But as dreams go you always seem to dwell on one part and for me that seems to be looking at the beautiful curve of those sheer strips, the way all the rest of them follow suit, and the way the wood feels as you run your hands from the keel to the sheer line along the hull. The same thing happened to me in florida when I touched the first stripper I ever saw. I'll never forget that, and I'm sure my wallet wont either. Ha Ha. Elliott
