Construction: Week 43 - Progress While at the Shipyard

Howard took these photos on Friday afternoon, October 18, 24 hours after my departure from Koahsiung.  Therefore, I was on site and saw most of the progress as it occurred.  This posting is actually a week late.   I will be receiving Week 44 photos at 8:00AM tomorrow and will probably post them over the weekend. 

Progress is happening very fast.  According to Tania and Outer Reef the boat will be finished by the end of November.  That is a short 5 weeks from today.

I've added photos that I took while at the shipyard.  These will provide some great views of spaces that we have not previously seen.  Howard's photos are numbered 1-18.  My supplementary photos are identified with an a, b or c.

  1. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!
