Boatbuilding Update January 24, 2008

The deck of the boat is now fiberglassed, the engine mount is built and fiberglassed, and I have begun applying white pigmented epoxy to the deck. I have been installing the deck support beams for the raised portion at the bow and I got both of the 15 hp Yamaha outboards running really well, although I will only use one at a time on the boat. Soon I will slide the boat off the trailer, flip it up on its side, and begin fiberglassing the bottom. I am very excited for it to become a watertight boat!

Music Post

I'm still trying to get Noëlle to update the blog, but she is out in California right now visiting family for the holidays so she is pretty busy. In boatbuilding news, I have begun fiberglassing the hull of the powercat and it is a much more difficult and tedious process than I realized (just like everything on this boat has been!). Anyway, this post is about music. I wanted to share some of the truly excellent musical selections that I have found on the internet. I hope you enjoy them!

Nickelback - Photograph

Johnny Cash - Hurt
His last video before his death

Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens) - The Wind

Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It

Creed - Higher

Jimmy Buffett - Far Side of the World

Peter Schilling - Major Tom
A cover of David Bowie's classic, edited excellently with one of my favorite movies

John Denver - Calypso
For anyone who liked "The Life Aquatic", if you sit past the first couple of minutes it is well worth it.

Jimmy Buffett - Come Monday
Jimmy Buffett's first hit with an amazing video capturing the times

Styx - Come Sail Away
Was there something about a starship in there?

Billy Joel - We Didn't Start the Fire

Bad Religion - Sorrow

Creed - With Arms Wide Open

Ok, that's a good start for now. If it turns out that people like these songs, I have many more that I can add to this blog over time. I hope that every one has been enjoying the holidays!
