augie Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share #693 Posted May 12, 2013 (edited) Just a minor update, barely worth a photo. The lifts and leech lines for the lower yards have been completed on both masts : As busy as it has been, it's about to get worse! Picking up some family from the East Coast at the airport today and we'll be spending about 10 days out and about in the Colorado high country. So no updates for a while. I will be checking in to keep an eye on everyone so STEADY THE COURSE. Everyone stay well and, where appropriate ----- Happy Mother's Day!!!

SkerryAmp Posted May 13, 2013 Share #711 Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) Still loving the ship build Augie. Now that I am finally caught up (Important thing I learned being pulled away by life for the past 2 months... at least TRY to keep up with MSW.... 400+ updates, and a third of them HERE ). The main problem I have with popping by your Syren is that it is the reason it is on my list of ships to do! (Not sure where I will put it though). (I think we need a spin off...or maybe even a sitcom series - Groundhogs and Lumberjacks!! - you guys are cracking me up) Loving it!! Can't wait for more!
