Sandy Boat plans

Couldnt work, so off to the pool.... this is 2 minutes down the road. A clear day in Hong Kong, looking East.  Still hot: 34 degrees....

... it was the wrong size.
Thats the wood I need for the Keelson and the Transom. ("Batu" = 抄木 [chāo mù] a kind of Asian mahogany).
It comes from China.  They cut it too thick and had to be sent back.
And... the factory here has to send it back to China and have just informed me they have trouble with Customs for re-importing back to China...[left, click to enlarge]
So theyre looking for a place to do it here in Hong Kong and "will let you know" when its ready....
Meantime, the painting of the house got going in full today and I cant even get to the Jig...
So... its off to the pool for me....

Round the front all covered for the painting of house

Cant even get to the boat.....

Later: received 10 July:
