20 nov 2014 - Nothing much to report - still experimenting with the blog software...  Managed to download pics from camera to computer, and get some loaded into yesterday's post.  I note that I do not have any of the outside of the canoe, I'll need to get some pics to document the condition of the planking.  At this point, it looks like I'll need:
  • stern seat
  • stem bands
  • keel
  • outwales
  • ~40 ribs
  • some planking
The list seems to keep growing:(  On the bright side, with so many ribs that will be replaced, I do not need to strip the whole canoe - perhaps I can strip the bow and stern, and then around each rib as it is removed.  Current plan is to try to replace the ribs one or 2 at a time.  It will take a while, but I'm not in a hurry...

Tonight we did turn the canoe back right side up, only the starboard side remains to be wiped down and that should be easy enough right side up.
