BELFAST, ME — Captain Mike Johnson sent these captioned Sunbeam V refit photos. On a Mission video-conference several days earlier, Capt. Mike told the Mission team the refit was at a point where, for the first time, viewers could tell what the boat will look like finished.
Now, with these photos in hand, we see exactly what Mike is talking about. Onward and upward!

BELFAST, ME – Before the Mission’s Sunbeam V was out of the water, its major routine refit was described as removing the insides of the boat and redesigning them. This photo, thanks to Front Street Shipyard, illustrates the point. A shipyard worker is building out the boat cabins in a way that best suits the Sunbeam crew’s work these days.
One final thought. Front Street’s worker appears to be working on the other side of the hole we see cut in the Sunbeam in the other, earlier photo.
Learn more about the Sunbeam V, the crew.

BELFAST, ME — Front Street Shipyard posted this Sunbeam V update October 25 on their Twitter feed.
The photo caption reads, We pulled out Sunbeam’s main engine so we can sandblast the engine room.
The Sunbeam is undergoing a routine major re-fit at Front Street Shipyard. During the interim, the Sunbeam crew continues their work among Maine unbridged islands aboard the Mission’s interim boat, Moonbeam, and through other travel means.

Thank you, Front Street Shipyard, for your frequent photo postings of the Sunbeam V refit progress.
This photo, Front Street tells us, is “the view just outside the pilothouse on [the] Sunbeam.”
