Fixed the transom after some efforts. Then we placed and epoxied the glass onto the sides of the boat. Had a long day of work from very early to very late.

We had to seek help from mum today for the mixing of the glue as we were needing large amounts of it and me and dad simply couldn't keep up with the number of small tasks that had to be done simultaneously. For a small boat, it is easy to mix the glue and spread it over the whole area. However, for a boat this size, a third pair of hands is needed to mix glue. This is because epoxy glue starts to thicken very fast and has to be mixed in small amounts. It is specially true in hot weather (ie, almost everyday in Mauritius).
