Now I have the festive season out the way, I looked to do a wee bit of work my ship, then disaster struck, I fell ill.....again......nasty, seriously ill again.....2 visits to 2 different hospitals.....I'm wondering if someone has a voodoo doll of me somewhere (come to think of it, I know a couple of ex wives who may have), I had a bad year health wise last year and I thort I was coming good...then this.....
Anyway....I'm on the mend now but very slowly, but in a moment of calm I looked at my dear old Abercrombie and I measured, cut and fitted the base components of her aft superstructure, I know it was only 2 bits of wood, but the way I feel it was an achievement.....it's taken longer than I wanted....I expected to have her in the water by now.....but she'll get there maybe in 3 months or so.....going back to bed, I still tire easy, and if I overdo it I'm done for....nurse Rose will kill me.....Phil

That nurse sounds worse than nurse Ratched. Even 2 pieces of wood is very well done. Get well soon.  |

Built a small antenna array to go on the main mast last night, from available pictures, and bits of brass I had lying around, it's fairly basic, but it looks the part. I used some old 3 rail railing for the base square and added the appropriate bits in the right places...pleased with it I am.........Phil

Amazing what can be done with a bit of scrap brass and if it looks right, then it is right. |
