    Sad to say that some o the crew left wi the Alexanders. Trawlin round the pubs now lookin for some hungry crewmen O0 Looks like Phillipinos are the answer.  See if they'll take the shilling. Might borrow some fae the other boats but they're a bit work shy. Lol.

    Hi Dave. Just doin wee bits o the details at a time.Been workin on the exhaust and galley lums today, and a disguised method o securing the galley roof.  The galley stove and lighting are the next jobs then the wheelhouse equipment. Time for a wee bit more research, I think. Speakin to a woman today who said that winter in Oz is just like summer here.   I'll bet she's right.
    ???
    She's right as well, Will.  The buggers over here put winter clothes on as soon as the Newsreader says "It's the first day of winter, irreguardless of the temperature.  Scarves and Gloves and it's 21degrees C. O0 ??? O0
    beautifull will

    I know what you are talking about Mackem. When I was in Bahrain, below 80F meant we wore a pullover. Summer temps could be as high as 145F.  Many memories of frying eggs on the Landrover mudguards in the desert.  

    Thanks, Earlsferry. Plan is to have her down at the Anst'er Fisheries Museum this weekend but not yet confirmed.  Been working on the lights and wheelhouse interior using the wheelhouse artworks I published a while ago.
    There are two lighting circuits-
    One for nav' lights, wheelhouse and galley
    One for deck lights.
    Next is a stove for the galley (all these windows mean I gotta do lots of interior details).
