MrBlueJacket Posted July 22, 2019 Author Share #139 Posted July 22, 2019 So I have been out of the hospital for a week now. Get tired very easily, every day is a little improvement. Got to looking at the RJ last Friday, and wondered why there are no scupper ports in the bulwarks. Careful examination of the plans shows 8 tiny channels from the deck out the hull. I thought "why bother?"but I couldn't ignore them. Here's a shot of one of them (just left of the locker) and its exit. Time to bring out the black touch-up paint. druxey, jgodsey, bob porter and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESF Posted July 23, 2019 Share #148 Posted July 23, 2019 Nic, So happy to see you back in action and hear that your recovery is going well. Making tiny wood shavings is great therapy and I''m learning great for the heart too. My doctor told me this morning my blood pressure is much better and I couldn't put it down to anything else except the peace of shipbuilding.

Tector Posted July 25, 2019 Share #149 Posted July 25, 2019 Very glad to see you back to it, and I hope above all else that you are feeling better and that your recovery is as smooth as possible. My Dad recently had a heart attack and is undergoing tests to determine if a bypass is necessary-- it's a pretty scary time and it is good to see that you are moving past it. The Red Jacket is looking beautiful!
