More bending 
 

Album image #10
Using pencil to color the edges of the planks to give a "caulking" effect between the planks. 
 

Album image #11
Took me more than 2 hours but finally got the top planks laid down. Had to bend them three ways. This is going to take a long time. 
 

Album image #12
Another 2 hours to get the second planks down. The skill seems to be in bending the planks every-which-way. Hopefully I get better... 
 

Album image #13
Figuring out the planking plan. Got *one* "garboard strake" plank down. Only took another 2 hours.
