Keel is Complete.

I finished the keel this week.  I hope the aft section is centered well enough. 





I plan to pour lead tomorrow.  Finding adequate lead became a challenge.  It turns out that the state of California outlawed lead in January, 2010.  So all lead now must be accounted for and tire shops aren't so willing to give it away since they might have to explain it to the authorities.  I had a heck of a time going to all of these old used tire shops down south of me towards Mexico scrounging a few pounds here and there.  I believe I have enough but I'll find out tomorrow.
