In the winter we try to utilize our days off by doing annual maintenance, and projects to prepare for the upcoming season.

We have been in the boatyard the last couple day, changing the shaft, painting the bottom, cleaning the hull, just stuff. We went back in the water this morning, and back to Hatteras Harbor. I have been spending a lot of time in my shop lately, refinishing my fighting chair, and building new fish box lids. In a few more days, I should be done, and back to work on the 29 footer I'm building. I finished glassing the inside, and am about a week away from starting on deck beams. My customer backed out on the deal, so anyone interested, I've got a great carolina built center console under construction, in the shop. Today is beautiful, so if I get some fishing news, I'll post it. It looks like wind for the next two days though.
