    Thanks Ken. It's on the way.
     
    Chuck- it did not occur to me that a PDF copy would be a copyright violation. With all the e- everything, including books, I thought it was legitimate. My apologies. I like to think I am more ethical than this.
     
    Bye the way, it appears that the book is out of print. Even the Constitution Museum store where I ordered it 3 weeks ago can't get a copy.

    Dave,
    You are making me dread rigging my Endeavour. This looks like a never ending tale. Maybe that's why I keep working on the Victory and procrastinate on the Endeavour.
    Yours is looking real good.

    E J,
    I have thoroughly enjoyed your build. I have always thought the La Couronne was the most beautiful ship of that era, and, your model just reinforces this.  I can't believe you finished in less than 1000 hours. This is truly a job well done!!!

    Thanks Kurt and Doug.
     
    A world wide search turned up 42 copies for sale. Prices were $195.00 to $4995.00 (no typo). I must be loosing my mind. I can wait. The Connie is about 18 months out on the ways as I work on my Victory.

    Thanks Danny. Postage from AUS is $50 US for a total of $122 US. I am going to do what Doug did and watch and wait for a reasonable price. My Connie build is probably 2 years out- lots of time yet.

    Well,
    Under the heading of "If it seems to good to be true, it usually is". Just received notice that the AOS Constitution,from Bookbyte, is all of a sudden out of stock and a refund is issued. So much for the bargain. The seller must have woken up.
