Congratulations on the brief but successful sea trail, Craig. 

 

 That's a stunning image.

Thank you, Keith for the compliment.  We are both pleased that the model came so close to representing the craft which we had hoped to own. She probably would have been at home in the Pacific Northwest waters, with that Gardner diesel quietly pushing her along.

 I'm very impressed with the views watching Nick's Argonaut II adventures on YouTube. If I had life to do over again.......

I have to agree, it is hard to fault. At a glance anyone would think it was the real thing. Excellent work Craig.

We were lucky enough to visit ARGONAUT II some years ago under a previous owner. Her Gardner is a sweet sounding engine.

Also, the former Mission hospital ship, COLUMBIA III, running with a gleaming 60+ year old 8L3 Gardner, still works under the careful custodianship of Ross Campbell as a Mothership for kayak trips in the northern BC waters.

 

I believe that Nick is currently cruising as crew with Leo Goolden on TALLY HO making the passage down the Mexican West coast to Panama.

It is a surprisingly close bunch of folks who manage to keep these old girls running.  TWILIGHT probably would have fit right in.

Thank you for those kind words, KeithAug.  As I contemplate the upcoming construction of the interior joinery for the main cabin, you are setting quite a fine example of what I should strive for with your project. Whew!!

 That's way cool that you and Vicky got to visit aboard Argonaut II. I love the sound of her Gardner and watching Nick fire her off is a trip.  Argonaut II is supposed to be coming out of the water in Port Townsend for major hull work. Pete Stein will be the lead shipwright with Patrick (worked on Tally Ho) will also be working with Pete on the hull. I thought she would have been pulled by now, I keep checking for YouTube updates but nada so far. 

 

 I'm positive Twilight would have fit right in.
