Boatbuilding in the Back Yard (Full Color Edition)

The Journal of the Molly B is my personal diary of the building of my dream. The building of a boat is a simple idea but in practice is more like a labor of love which exceeds all expectations. The task is at times an overwhelming undertaking which is reminiscent of the insignificance one feels in the middle of that vast and seemingly endless expanse of water called an ocean you feel so small and so alone. You at times feel as though it's an impossible task. Without the knowledge or experience to solve the many problems that arise as you proceed along your course toward the completion of your vessel you are constantly reminded of your shortcomings. I can assure you it is not an impossible task! It took me 12 years but the Molly B is finally in the water and fulfilling our dream of living on the water. It's well worth the time and effort but you'll never finish it if you don't get started you just have to take that first step and go for it.
