This fall has been busy to say the least! In the middle of this whole boat project, Anya decided to go back to school and get her EMT and then went to fire academy to become a firefighter. That meant that work on the boat slowed a little. Every Tuesday and Thursday evening Jeff took all 4 kids to the local YMCA to go swimming while Anya was at drill or academy. Now all 4 kids are little fish, even Jase the 2 year old can swim without help for quite a ways!
Anya graduated from fire academy with an award for being the fastest at putting her gear on. She also received 2 awards at the annual Big Lake Fire Department banquet, Rookie of the Year & Firefighter of the Year!
We did squeeze in a few small projects during this busy time, like installing the through holes, drains and exhaust line.
Jeff also got the rudder installed!
Now we are ready for bottom paint and we can get her in the water! With the weather being so cold we are having to wait for a warmer dry day so that we can get a good bond. Should have it started very soon!
