Paul planing the stern stem of boat 1

Dr John reports that after a couple of days off due to colds etc, the team was back in the shed today. Dr John and Paul W planed the excess plank timber that covers the stems and keelson where the outer keel will sit. Veronica sanded the gunwales on boat 1. John I got back into sculpting the rudder blade and Harry looked after Archie. The quality of the catering greatly improved from last week too.

Great to see progress today. I’m going to be back in the shed on Monday if all goes well on our homeward travel from Alice Springs.
