Don't really want to spoil the surprise by posting progress pictures. But, I will tell you the granite is from Granite Transformations and we will have some copper flakes in the finish. Some may remember our copper countertops in Yumsuch. The granite is only 1/4" thick and will be epoxied to the Coosa composite that we are using for the substrate. Total weight will be about 130 lbs for the 40 sq. ft. of countertop.
Making the boat comfortable, while saving weight, so we can sail fast.

Sailing - The fine art of getting wet and becoming ill, while going nowhere slowly at great expense (equivalent to standing in a cold shower, fully clothed, throwing up, and tearing up $100 bills, while a bunch of other people watch you). Norbert
ReplyDeleteBoom - Called boom for the sound that's made when it hits the crew in the head on its way across the boat. For slow crew, it's called 'boom,boom.'

Jack Line - 'Hey baby, want to go sailing?' NN
