TWL: Boojum yard visit

I'm back from New Zealand and a visit to Q-West where Boojum is under
construction.  The work looks very good, but is proceeding more
slowly than I had hoped.  Apparently Boojum's small size is keeping
the shop from using more than one or two workers at a time, which is
pushing out schedules although man-hours are not too far from
original estimates.  Current target is to be out of the joinery shop
by early October and ready for launching sometime in November.  Maybe
by Christmas?  8-)

I have a lot of pictures to sort through and make up into web pages,
but to get things started, here are a couple of exterior shots:

There is a little page detailing the fueling station setup at:

Enjoy,
