As we get further into the project, I can truly say, well, it’s just getting uglier. Yes, the boat is becoming more structurally sound. But, there’s nary a good lookin’ place on her. I was beginning to forget what she looked like before. I went back to the original images we took in February 2006. The pictures were taken of the blocks, fittings, winches, windlass, all the things that I figured we’d forget about once the project was in swing. I was right. We have forgotten half the stuff that we have in boxes belonging to Mahdee. Back then, I though the pics were ugly because they revealed all the wear and tear. Now I think she looked ok!
