Progress Update: September 30th

(Eric trimming foam for mattresses)

• The first upper bunk in the lower cabin is completely finished. Eric used spray adhesive to build a mattress using layers of high quality foam toppers. (Thanks Fiona!!)
• Our friends from REACH Ministry left on the 28th. We were able to do serious bleach scrubbing of the upper helm hallway using tooth brushes. It was a daunting task to get started but now Mary is working on the rest of the helm walls, a section at a time. They are coming out really nice considering the amount of smoke damage before the initial cleaning when we first took possession of the ship 3 years ago. It was time for a final, intense scrubbing and we are grateful to our friends for helping Mary get it started. Mike also did an awesome cleaning job on the upper deck barbecue grill. Thanks so much Mike and Lynn!!
• Other projects are on hold for the moment as Eric is working on another side job for our personal support. He is building a 14 ft bowsprit out of Douglas Fir.
