Bits and Pieces - Moving Toward Completion

Coamings installed, shaped, and the 'end cap' tying the two coamings together figured out.

Things are still a bit rough but, really, getting closer to completion. That 'end cap' is epoxy coated and will be painted, along with the outside of the coamings, to match the top decks.

Backing plates for deck cleats fitted, installed, holes drilled and cleats installed. Yes, after tomorrow the cleats will be removed, the holes drilled oversized, filled with epoxy, drilled to size and the cleats reinstalled, but for about 36 hours the temporary installation will work.

There is a lot more work to be done but installing those cleats today made Gardens somehow more real, completing her closer, and sailing her more than just a distant possibility.
