Brief Description:  Skirt templates and initial fitting left side

1. Sanded edges of the canopy skirts from previous cut last session
2. Started the fitting of left skirt by taping in place and then....oops tape didnt hold and skirt fell off and managed to slide up canopy in rear and leave a small scratch about 3 inches long! It should buff out ok but dang it! Spent the next 30 minutes putting bubble wrap all over the canopy

3. Made 3 templates for each side of frame ( one for each vertical rib). Used scrap aluminum and the hole finder tool to transfer holes to the scrap aluminum and drill #40. These will be used to locate the holes in the vertical ribs when drilling the skirt to frame and canopy

4. Marked and cut the initial cuts in aft end of left skirt. I need for it to sit down on the turtle deck and so the notch needs to be taken out around the center rail. This does not fit very well but Ive heard that from others before me too.
