Life in the boatyard ...work is fun, indeed.

It is a bit daunting to read our TO DO list to prepare Begone.  But it's amazing what can get done with a crackerjack team and a deadline...we gotta get Vicky back to the Bay Area in time to run the WayTooCool 50K Trail Run/Race before March 7th.  
Tackling the TO DO items are: 
Tom - the wizard engineer who also orchestrates the overall project plus takes care of everything in the mechanical/electrical/glue/shmoo/spare part department and is our master bar-b-que'er.
Vicky works magic with varnish, sanding/painting and practical what needs to get done/when decisions plus brings hours of amazement at what she can get done everyday. 
Suzanne is the multi-purpose player -- chief cook, errand runner, scuff'er/taper, laundry lady, inventory taker, photographer, communications officer and social secretary. 
So here are some snapshots of the work we're doing here in San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico...

A Woodpecker decided our wood mast was as good a place to bang it's head against!

Vicky working her magic!
And here's Tom down below getting everything organized and inventoried !!!
But there's also plenty of fun in and around San Carlos.
