Bruce,
Here are today's photos of our Prudence. We have moved out of the tent and
inside our shop. Final coats of paint on the top and bottom this
weekend. We are now having good weather in the 70's and want to get the
finishing done.
We are rigging the stripped and refinished mast too.
The other photo is of one of the boys, Elizah French, and a nutshell pram he
is building on the side.

Dear Bruce,
Here are some recent photos of our Prudence. We are still working on the
interior and have wiring to do. We are going to cast in bronze some
lights for port and starboard. We stepped the mast and had her displayed at a
weekend open house here. (But will she float???) I think the boys
made good time, but more importantly, it seems they did a quality job as far as
we know how. The photo down the starboard side is a stitch and
looks a little out of angle.
Thanks for all the help from everyone in the community of wooden boat
builders and lovers.

Bruce,
Here is another photo from the weekend with the mast up. 19-year-old Manasseh
was the main man on the restoration. Now we move on to a 35 foot Eldredge -
McInnis ketch. Have any other projects like another Herreshoff available?
The boys are chomping at the bit.
Kevin
