Artists are SO tetchy.

You should know better than argue with a woman.

Paint finish looks good from the photo's.
Front windows are a lot clearer too.
Next step? Fendering?

thats on with TC

That is looking so good now - well done you guys!

Looking good now guys, its good to see the piccys of her in various stages its a photographic journal of all the things you have done and it shows that all the hard work has been worth all the blood and sweat

jonty as been playing again

coming along quite nicely now, looking good

Truth is Tink, there's not a massive amount of work for us to do now.
Chris and Jonty have done the real graft to get her sprayed up......... but the next work (the hull) means she's got to go outside.

Christmas, the snow and a plumetting thermometer have really taken our foot off the pedal.......... but give us a few weeks, 15 degrees C, and the words mackeral and tope, and I can see BIG changes

Maybe we need to set a nerw date for the launch?????

Its amazing how quickly things get done once the barometer starts to rise

Never plan. Without planning, failure comes as a surprise without the concerns and anxiety leading to it!

Blimey George,
that's profound even by your usual standards

Or have you been at the genuine Chinese Fortune Cookies in celebration of the New Year tomorrow?????

DILLIGAF ............ Gang hay fah choy

Seriously guys. Don't set a launch date. The usual result is deep depression if the date is not achieved. Worse still is rushing jobs and taking shortcuts to achieve an announced date. Take the time the job dictates and remind yourself you are gaining enjoyment from renovating her properly. It's a boat. 2 day jobs take a week. Week jobs take months. Live with that scenario, it's going to keep occurring.
It's some months ago when Chris was willing to bet on a June 2009 launch. That was followed with a November 2009 launch announcement!
Welcome to 2010. It's a boating way of life, accept it, don't fight it.

Good advice George.................... as usual

SO the date is..........................................................



2010

THE NEAR FUTURE jonty
