The boat is almost finished!

Bob has finished the bottom part of the boat and has

turned the boat back over.... now he is working on

painting the topside... the cabin and deck and then

he'll begin the finish work. Check out his progress.

Here is the primer going on the bottom of the boat...3 coats of primer, sanding after each. Then 2 coats of hardened cross linked white paint.

The top line trim and boot stripe are taped off

Painting the sides Flag Blue.... which Bob says is very close to BYU Blue. 2 coats of glossy Flag Blue

Bob is tipping off the paint.... he rolls the paint on then brushes it with a brush to tip it off.

Pulling off the tape revealing the top trim

Summer is here...

Summer is here! Alaska is having an unprecedented, uncharacteristic.... and unbelievably warm and sunny summer! We've enjoyed blue skies, gentle breezes, and long drawnout gorgeous days. It has been just breathtaking.... it has been just what the doctor ordered after enduring the gray, cold skies of winter. We are crossing our fingers that it lasts and that the clock and calendar will just slow down so we can soak it all in!

Erin finished her freshman year with excellent grades and a love of seminary. Russ Graduated from BYU-I and Emily graduated from BYU Provo... such great accomplishments.
Our annual trip to Ninilchik for the Memorial Day Weekend, Youth Conference, and Girls Camp all have kept our family hopping since school ended.

And of course, there needs to be an update on the boat.... it is coming along.... although bless Bob's heart, he took a week off of work to join us at girls camp.

Here is just a sampling of the fun we've had!
