9/30/21 – PocketShip Delays due to Work

I suppose this will be an ongoing issue going forward but it was definitely to be expected. Work wins priority as I am not anywhere near retirement. This PocketShip build will see very likely see random delays due to work and life requirements. I have to present the Fy21 Q4 business review today as well as chase some hiring requisitions. Annual reviews are in process as well.

This morning while coffee was starting to kick in I hit the garage and pulled the temp screws from the nose block and cleaned up some epoxy. I marked out exact locations for the blocks and double checked the hole alignment for the centerboard pivot. I am ready to glue the blocking, sides and centerboard together. Due to concerns with making sure the keel is dead straight, I’m not going to rush this part of the process. I have some concerns with maintaining alignment of the keel blocks since they tend to really slide with larger amounts of epoxy. There are some areas of the build that I will really slow down and triple check things, where other areas I’ll be more confident with.
