The morning was spent with seven first graders on a wetlands field trip. The aquatic plants are just starting to emerge and life in the local wetlands emerging. It was great to get out on a sunny morning and muck around looking at plants, the signs of beaver chewing on trees, turtles sunning themselves on a floating log and a catfish stirring up the bottom as it was feeding in the shallows. I look forward to further exploration of this type from my Tiki. It's about the awesome experiences that this planet holds if you take a look around that motivate me.

I got back to work a little after noon. I had set myself a list of tasks and got after them right after having a bite of lunch. I sanded the back of the cabin tops cut out the hatch opening, routed the edge and coated the exposed wood. I drilled the remaining holes in the rub rails, removed them, cut them to length and routed a larger chamfer on the upper edge and coat these too. I sanded the remaining parts of the cabin interiors in preparation for priming and vaccumed the hulls in prepartation for priming. With any luck I may be able to start painting the interior of the hulls this week. That would be a milestone!
