We decided to wait until we get to Seattle to produce two well-designed and varnished barge boards for the boat. In the meantime we will sail with the two boards that we received in Eden. The soap dispenser and cabin fan installations are trivial and I will do them at sea. Otherwise I am happy to report that all of the big items have been done.
