She is almost ready for a landing on Sunday island.

Alden Smith said...

You are correct Ben .... and she is big enough for a nice load of oranges from the famous orange groves as well!!

She's looking good. I like the benches so you don't have to sit in the bilge water.

Thanks Dan, and my sentiments as well regarding sitting in the bilge water. But I did have to think about it. Some small traditionally fitted out little dinghies such as this one do have the skipper sitting on the floor of the boat - but I think this side seat arrangement is the best.
