  2. I'm Back I recharged my batt's and found my mojo - I decided to get out on the table just what I needed to continue on the Pearl, this wasn't much just a few tools etc, I got the pearl out of the display case (still with a layer of dust - but guess that adds to her ghostly look). After checking were I add left off - I picked up with the rats going up the main tops, this I did both sides - same procedure of fine sowing thread wrapped round each then a dab of ca before trimming each end. I then moved on to the main top shroud rats starting both sides. It actually didn't feel that different and I picked up quite easily. Its good to be back. OC.
