Oh, it’s all the little things that matter.

I have a friend who follows the 80% rule. He states that he gets “80% of the impact with 20% of the cost” on a given project. Following his logic, its not worth it to pay to get to 100%.

Well, my friend is not a boater, no, not a sailor, no clearly not a wooden boat owner! Here, we find that the final little things make all the difference in the world. So, I go around attending to the minutiae that will keep the boat from rotting away and David does likewise with things to keep the engine and systems properly working. All in all, everything needed for the safety of the boat and crew.

The minutiae is boring. No doubt about this. So, off I go to do the final finish on the seam between caprail and shearplank. A seam that needs to not only look very pretty but needs to be most certainly watertight.
