Taping the inside deck seam

The weather continues to cooperate thanks to El Nino (or is it La Nina?).  So we are continuing to take advantage of the not-exactly-warm, but warm enough weather to work on the second float.  Here you can see the inside of the bow end of the float.  On the right is the deck seam that we just finished taping.  Note the mirrors we used to see what we were doing while we applied the tape.  This shot is looking in through the open bow.  It isn't really as spacious as it appears, I just stuck the camera inside to take the shot.  But it does have a somewhat sci-fi look, like inside the underwater alien ship in The Abyss.

Now I will remove the million drywall screws holding the hull to the form frame.  Then we can pop the hull free and take down the form frame.  Then we start on taping the interior keel seam in the upright position.  Hopefully we will be done with interior work for both floats before the New Year.  Happy Holidays!
