Hi Dave A really nice job on the decoy. I echo everyone's sentiments above. More importantly, what you said that Mrs Sawdust said to you (in Post 48), reminds me of the old saying..."Behind every great man, is a great woman" ...aka your wife. Cheers and all the best Patrick

Hi everyone and many, many thanks for your best wishes. Thanks especially to Michael, Crackers, Greg and Greg (DVM27), for your recent messages of support! Well, I'm back!!! Got discharged a couple of hours ago. The surgeon found even more of the little buggers (which didn't appear on the CAT Scans or X-rays) and he was able to get rid of all of them. Thank God. Incidentally, Greg's comment about the pain being worse than childbirth was verified by the nurse who wheeled me into the operating room. She said that she felt for me because the pain was indeed worse than childbirth! How did she know? Well, she was pregnant at the same time as having kidney stones!!! If anyone could verify such a comparative statement, I reckon she was uniquely qualified to do so. Anyhow, the recovery process has started and I hope to be back on deck in a few days. Thanks everyone for all of your support and best wishes. Patrick

Thanks Mark. ...at least, the hospital food has won awards for its quality. Something to look forward to, I guess.

Hi Nils Wow. Wow and triple Wow. She looks absolutely stunning! Like a silver streak about to take off into an Atlantic sunset. Nice! Cheers Patrick

Thanks. Most likely I'll have surgery tomorrow where they'll go up the "what's it" and grab it. I don't think I'll be wanting the video of that!

Thanks Ben! The ambulance was big inside (obviously, I guess), but noisy as well. There was a cupboard lid that kept opening and closing each time we went over a bump in the road. Strangely enough, I was in such bad shape that I kept trying to fall asleep, thus ignoring the paramedic who was desperately asking me questions to keep me awake. On quite a few occasions, he gave me this horrific jab in the neck with his thumb and forefinger. It did the trick, because I woke up with a jolt each time, only to fall asleep a short while later. I can't thank him enough because he knew what he was doing and got me to hospital safe and sound. Cheers Patrick

Thanks, Jond...not exactly the "elite club", I would normally aspire to, but, sometimes we just join these clubs without realising the consequences. You definitely have my sympathies as well. Three times is not fun! All the best Patrick

Hi David, Greg, Mike, Dave, Denis, Mark and Frank Thank you for your best wishes! They all mean heaps to me. I can't believe how painful these little buggers are. My wife had quite a shock, because only 5 to 10 minutes after posting the photos of Magellan, I was doubled up on the ensuite floor, vomit pouring from mouth and 30 minutes later the Ambulance arrived. Neither of us had any warning or prior symptoms. It was that quick! Anyhow, all the best, everyone and thanks. Cheers Patrick

Thanks Michael! I reckon the hull's not looking too bad either. I can't wait to get back to the boat, once these little buggers are gone.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
