HIPEXEC Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share #302 Posted May 31, 2017 Shipyard's closed! My Admiral has given me orders to cease operations and concentrate on taking her on a cruise to Ireland. We pick up our ship in Amsterdam where I shall report to Admiral Sjors ( remember when Sjors was promoted to Admiral when MSW did such things) for a tour of The Amsterdam Maritime Museum before boarding our ship. See you all in 19 days.

Anja & Sjors traveled all the way to downtown Amsterdam so we could finally meet face to face after all these years of chatting on MSW. We were going visit The Maritime Museum, but my flight got in too late, so we just went to dinner together. Anja & Sjors are camping in the south of France right now.

HIPEXEC Posted June 28, 2017 Author Share #322 Posted June 28, 2017 Ten planks to go. You veterans know how tedious planking can be, so I am showing one plank at a time for any newby's looking in so they understand the concept of each plank has to be treated like it's its own model with all the twists, bends and tapers involved. It is very rewarding when you can hold that hull with all planks installed.
