Beaufort
Eric, our frame contractor, arrived this morning and immediately got to work. He and Barry made final measurements and went over the game plan one more time. In the parking lot, Eric's work trailer contained his hydraulic tube bender. He marked the 24-foot sections of 1.25-inch stainless steel tubing and began crafting the bows for our new bimini frame. It was impressive to watch as he made both small- and large-radius bends. The right tool for the job made for efficient work. By 5:00, two of the three bows were in place and supported with cross members. They'll pick up again tomorrow with more measuring and marking.
As the sun set on our 22nd day in Beaufort since "The Blow," it was ironic that we finally could see some light at the end of this long tunnel.
