G9 minus one Perseverance sees the light of day

The G9 Boatbuilders Gathering is tomorrow. 

Today, I pulled the boat out into the daylight for the first time. It was a great feeling, to stand back and look at it... even though its not quite finished. 

But, shes on the trailer, and ready-to-go.

Tonight I attached these spring-loaded fender cleats.
