Rain Rain Rain

Storm blowing through, not the usual california drizzle, the pull off the road and hope the guy behind you did too, kind of storm. South Louisiana has a serious drainage problem, it's so flat the water just sits there. The countryside is truly gorgeous,lush, and green, the small towns are sleepy and composting. The big ones are MALL AMERICA, but hell, we're just passing through, and even they have great food and some of the best music I've ever heard.

We are still doing demo on parts of the boat, but also starting to reconstruct.
We had to take a bunch of flat bar steel to a large boatyard to put a bend in it so the roof of the cabin would have a nice slope. We also got the crane working to lift the steel and equipment around on the boat, it works like a charm and was hand built from scrap at the yard and two new 12V winches and a battery. The sucker can lift 9000 lbs. Big Fun. Still making refinements to it, but it will certainly pick up anything I may want to use as a tender.
