So how do all of these components come together to make a bloody boat?!?!?

In order to give readers/viewers of this blog some idea of what we are trying to build, in the end analysis, I have combed the internet for images that most closely resemble what we are building.  These are not the actual boat ( it is obviously not completed yes (( as of 08 February 2016 )) ) but the boat we are building will look very much like these images upon completion, with the exception of the unique design differences that we have implemented.

So...  now you will have at least some clarity as to what we are trying to accomplish, and perhaps the images that I have posted will convey a bit more meaning to you.

Today, Monday 08 February 2016 has been declared a 'Snow Day' by the Skipper, due to a snowstorm ( why else? ), so the crew remains ensconced cozily at home with family, roommates, significant others, various animal companions, or with books, projects, television, music, internet, or perhaps a hot cup of something that helps to keep body and soul together.

Tomorrow, we shall converge upon the boat shop and get back to work.

Incidentally, I will not likely be adding many more posts to this blog.  Instead, my plan is to gradually add captions to the existing photos, and to add more recent photos as I take them, and to then change the title of the post by updating the date.  In this way, you will know that the post has been updated ( if anyone is even following this chronicle..  it is as much for my own remembrances in the future as for anything else.. I have done SO many very cool and unique things in my life, many of which could not be photographed or recorded save by taking the risk of imprisonment ( due to security classification - i.e., military related ) or, I simply did not have the presence of mind or the equipment at hand to photograph the happenings...   in this case, I view the ability to take photos as a portion of my compensation package.   I will simply never build my first boat again.  I want to be able to look back on it.

Please feel free to leave comments or questions if you have a mind... I will answer to my best ability.  Thanks.

Here are some pics of what we are aiming for.
