Continued work on the overhead in the main cabin.  Most of the panels and lights for the starboard side are completed.  The last panel (of course) was the most difficult.  I had to remove the door to the forward cabin and bend it (the panel, not the door) nearly to the breaking point to get it into place.  I did it, but damaged a couple of corners in the process. The damage will need to be repaired before I can paint it, connect the light and reinstall the panel permanently.  A pleasant afternoon sail on a friend's boat provided a bit of consolation.
