I'm still keeping in touch.. been in Thunder Bay since yesterday noon (EDT). I'm relegated to working on 1:1 ships for the time being. I'll try and restart my old "Andy's Maritime Adventures" Thread from MSW 1.0 (with photos, of course) Andy -
Cool, I don't recall you mentioning it before.. I didn't want to assume too much. Andy

If at first you don't succeed... try, try, try......try.....try............**** it, go and get drunk. Isn't that how it goes? Lessons learned are still progress.. even though it may not feel like it. Andy

If you want to mute some of your weathering effects, you can try going over with a very light overspray of white or black (depending if you want her to look faded or grimey). If you can of course... I don't know if you have an airbrush... or access to one... Andy

Trying to think back a couple months.... I basically had the overhand knot of the strop tied before I slipped it over the block. If you're having problems, tweezers and alligator clips are your best friends. See if you can locate a set of mounted alligator clips. They come in a set of at least two mounted to a pedestal, some even come with a built on magnifying glass. Andy

It's one thing to stick your nose out the door and go "*sniff* Hmmm cold out..." and the retreat back inside.. Try having to clear frozen sounding pipes, valves and other plumbing work, when the contents of said plumbing would prefer not to exist in a liquid state... Oh yeah... Did I mention that at the same time you yourself has also been forced to endure said frigid temperatures for several hours and most likely due to the aforementioned issues are also soaked to the skin (yet the outer layers of your clothing has begun to freeze).... "Man up"..... Yeah... Sure... You first... Andy

You need to check out Petrus' scratch build O19, he's got a whole history lesson on his father's service (and a photo of the Java) Andy

**Pokes at Sjors with a stick** Of course we can wait. We've been waiting patiently so far, we can continue do so. Andy

Here are a couple sites you can use to follow the ships: http://www.greatlakes-seaway.com/en/navigating/map/index.html That one deals exclusively with the St. Lawrence Seaway and Welland canal http://ais.boatnerd.com/ That one covers most of the Great Lakes. Andy

Implacable (Duguay Trouin) - moved by moderator
realworkingsailor replied to Matrim's topic in Nautical/Naval History
I think people don't realise the true cost of keeping a museum ship, let alone restoring one. It's easily in the millions of $$ per year, and unless there's some kind of public support, most good natured intentions are doomed to fail. Andy -
