M/V Harpoon- As we pack up the old shop and move out we took down Harpoons temporary shelter. It's been a while since we have seen here in her entirety from a distance. I should note we stopped working on her last October. When she came in for work her original keel had been replaced some years ago. It was not a quality repair by any means. When she arrived she slumped on the bow and stearn several inches in her length. We slowly removed most of that and brought her as close as we could to her original lines. We refastened 90% of her hull, replaced all keel bolts, new stem and forefoot(fore gripe). We cut down the keel and reconfigured to be more like the original with new shaftlog, jib piece, horntimber and sternpost. We reframed her stern except for the header(only good piece left), new stern deck framing and washrail covering. We replace 24 full length rib frames in the aft, and 6 in the bow, we installed 50 short sister rib frames in between. 6 new floor timbers. Also a new stern knee. We've replace 8 planks in the stern and new garboard planks port and starboard. So with all that said this is the first chance we've had to look at the job from afar. Wish she was painted up and ready to splash, but that will come soon enough.

With a saddened heart I would like to announce the passing of my mother Lorelei H.B. Lowell. After nearly 28 years apart she and my father have been reunited. Most of her adult life she suffered from severe physical handicaps and now she is in pain no more.

We took a ride to Beals Island to check up on how the new building site is progressing. Then a ride over to Jonesport Shipyard to meet up with Lester Drisko to discuss his beauty, Papa's Legacy (designed and built by Willis Beal) and how he has a continuous preventive maintenance plan in place to fix any caulking issues that might arrise before they do, and refasten where needed before it becomes an issue. While there we visited with Issac Beal and Casey Denning while they were busy repairing Tatiana's (Torpedo stern designed and built by Willis Beal) stem and forefoot/gripe timber joint.
