Construction: Week 41 - She "Really" Comes Together

It took several minutes to decide on the title for today's article due to the fact that the incredible progress made this week involving every part of the boat.  Hence, the title "She "Really" Comes Together."

Other news: I am departing for Taiwan on Thursday morning to visit the shipyard in Kaohsiung.  My flight leaves at 10:25AM for Shanghai.  This is followed by stop in Seoul South Korea and then, finally, I arrive in Kaohsuing on Friday afternoon.  Two days in Kaohsuing to recover from jet lag and to do some touring and then 3 days at the shipyard.  Expect lots of photos.

So without further ado, here are this week photos.  Enjoy (as I certainly did).
