REALLY coming along nicely, Bob. Glad I could help keep you on track. LOL 😆  But then you are doing really good at that yourself. 👍

Rigging  continues, and it really not that bad. I have all the shrouds  and stays run an the deadeyes  just need to be tied. 

One of those  stays gets belaying  to pin #5. 

Lots of  deadeyes  left, more blocks than what I need , but better than not enough. 

Tomorrow  I will try to tie up the lines and hopefully  🐀  lines . Lol

Thanks for looking  in.

Just when you think all is well, boom, a miss calculation on Rodney's part. We have the hawse holes are in the wrong spot,

The plan shows the hole below the white line. It a bit of a pain, but I can fix it. 🧐 but it is a bit of a downer.  

 

  This is my little  jig for deadeyes, it happens to be exactly  the same size as another  ships spacer,  after the shoulds were on, it was on to the ratlines , thats when I notice the hawse holes. oh well what can you do lol.

 The deadeyes  are lined up , they look good to me,  good enough for me anyway lol.

 

Well the shrouds  and stays are ready to tie up, I will leave the four stay till later,  it gives me so much room for ratlines. 

So the ever changing  plan is to run the ratlines,  tie the stays, fix the hawse hole, then work on the booms and gaff.

 I told the first Mate that I may need the sails soon, she said......, well, let's just say I be working  on the Scientific Bluenose for awhile. Lol . 

Freddie is ready to go, he pretty  good as a ship inspector,  but he a little  to quiet for me, just wants to fish most of the time. 

Thanks for checking things out,  for ever greatful I found this hobby.

 Starboard side  shrouds, ratlines and stays are done on to the portside.

Everything  is out of the way, free access  to ratlines  🙂. That's it for today, being  pulled out of the shipyard  for awhile but with 120 or so glove hitchs  calling  it will be hard to resist 😉. 

 

 

 

Thanks for looking in.
