Some work is being done with the flat form for the outer island catwalk being faired into the hull.

I noted the program reminded me that I had not activated this topic for at least 120 days.

Life boat canisters are attached at one station only. I need 64 (x3) units. The Bonnie sits sideways to work on the motor boat bays. The crane has also been given a bit of time.

Some inside details started with a ladder and railing to the upper deck.

The crane was mainly used to transfer cargo and fish planes out of the water.

I felt guilty walking by the Bonnie everytime I go to the workshop. These are smoke generators. The photo shows I need to do touch up painting in this area.

Still a amazing project Lou.

Do you think you'll finish it?
