Dinger Boat Plan

The jig and frames didnt suffer, just the cover ripped apart.  I went to take it off and slipped on the wet plywood on the ground, ripping out the webframe Station 2.  Thus: not only no forward movement due to weather, but some backwards....

"Havoc and devastation in wake of Typhoon Vicente"... that was the headline in last Tuesdays South China Morning Post, after Typhoon Vicente came right over us, the first to labelled T10 since Typhoon York in 1999 -- which we remember.  We went out of the house with John, then 2, and had to hang on to him in case he blew away.  Vicente caused quite a bit of damage and some injuries, but no fatalities, thank goodness...
Since then, its been raining non-stop, till today when we could get to a bit of work, not much, but a bit.  Wait now the dismantling of the scaffolding, so we can add the Keelson and Transom (both already made).

In our place, not much damage, many branches blown off, and rain, rain, rain And a bit more of the detritus

One of the many trees in the Plaza, mature, 30 years old ripped out at the roots.  Nine lost in the Plaza, many others around Discovery Bay.  This one is a Mock Bodh.
