With the windows being prepped for glueing, Matrix deck roof in place, and furniture installed throughout, \u00a0the spaces &#8211; inside and out &#8211; are defined. They feel comfortable. Not cramped, not too big, just right.<\/p>\n<p>Neither words nor photos can convey this sense of being (of which this is a poor attempt at describing). Perhaps when <em>Cochise<\/em> is afloat, we can do better with photos. In the meantime, as you can see above, the windows are being prepped for glueing tomorrow. The clamps are bolted to blind threaded inserts, whose main job is to provide a means of holding storm windows in place.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"_DSC6031.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC60311.jpg\" alt=\"DSC6031\" width=\"608\" height=\"900\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Circa Managing Director Bruce Farrand is admiring the very light, simple, and functional remote\/portable helm for docking.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"_DSC6039.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/DSC6039.jpg\" alt=\"DSC6039\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There are two of these: one on the lower deck and another for docking on the Matrix deck.<\/p>\n<p>Time for a shower\u2026more tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There comes a time when it hits you, when the pieces fall together,\u00a0when it feels right, and you know it <a class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/setsail.com\/reflections-sometimes-you-just-have-to-let-it-sink-in\/\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":38350,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,180,248,177],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-38346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-dashew-blog","category-fpb-78","category-logs","category-three"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38346"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=38346"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":38348,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38346\/revisions\/38348"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/38350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=38346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=38346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/setsail.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=38346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
