I began restoring a 1958 Glasspar boat a couple of years ago. But the restoration project got bogged down when evening temperatures dropped too low for epoxy work. To keep my mind mentally engaged in the boat project even when I couldn't be physically, I decided to write a short, boating story. Well, the short story turned into a novel. I had never restored a boat or written fiction. I am quite happy to say both projects have been completed. Well, the boat project is never really complete. There's always something that needs attention ;-)

Check out the boat at: redirectmvw

Now I finally get to spend time on the water instead of daydreaming about it.

That is a very cool looking boat and you did an awesome job. Hopefully, one of these days I'll be able to free up some time to do one of these resto projects myself.
