Due to the high cost of diesel, we will be converting all of our vessels to steam and paddle wheels effective immediately. Thank you for your understanding in these trying times......

There's some big paddles under this little canoe. 76" diameter to be exact. Captain Tommy got a major lesson on barnacle scraping. Not his first time, but probably his most intensive barnacle scraping session to date.

Found the problem....
Also my stainless fittings supplier decided to raise their minimum order to $4,000. Drilled the ends of the cracks, beveled it out and welded it up. We'll see how long she lasts.

Finally got back on the muffler building project. This is #2 of 2 main engine mufflers for the Thomas P. I'm building them for $19,000 less than I can buy them, but I'm still not sure it's worth it. At least these mufflers will outlive the boat.

Can't ask for a better end to a productive day. Enjoying the sunset in the ride back in to port.
