Lost at Sea - Perdido en el Mar

Empecé a trabajar en el mar hace unos tres días. No ha sido tan difícil, o al menos no tanto como esperaba. Los peces tipo "Nemo" fueron lo más complicado, por lejos. Avanzo bastante rápido a esta altura del partido, obviamente, al quedar cada vez menos piezas es más fácil pillar las piezas que faltan. De hecho me cronometré ayer y en 21 minutos puse 28 piezas. Nada mal. Espero tenerlo listo antes del 10 de abril, que es mi cumpleaños. Será un lindo auto regalo. Sólo espero que no falte ni una sola pieza. Empecé el 3 de Enero y en todo este tiempo es posible que una o varias piezas hayan encontrado la manera de escapar del puzzle. Espero que no. 

I started working on the sea about three days ago. It hasn't been that hard, or at least not as hard as I had expected. The "Nemo" type of fish, yeah, the clownfish, were definitely the hardest part by far. No contest. They were a real pain. I am making great progress now, as you can imagine, since, well, there are far fewer pieces to worry about now even if they all look blue. In fact I set a timer and found out that in 21 minutes I had put 28 pieces. Not bad. I just hope to have this baby ready by April 10th, since that's my birthday. It will be a nice gift for myself. I just hope (lots of hoping in this post) not a single piece is lost. I started, as some of you might be aware, on Junuary 3rd. 3 months ago, so in all that time a piece could have found its way out of its destiny to be put in a puzzle. I just hope not. And if one found its way out I will have to summon it... or maybe just write the guys that manufacture the puzzle and ask for the missing piece or pieces.

  2. Section 2 sorting is done! It went much faster this time it seemed like....even though I separated into far more containers. Now if I can just get my toddler to take an early nap, I can get started on the border pieces! LOL
