I have a wet/dry vacuum cleaner I use (rarely)! It doesn't leak.

I remember sitting inside my completed bare hull on my steel Kaiulani 34 foot sailboat. It was an awe inspiring moment, as if I was inside a giant whale. I'll never forget that moment.

Coming along really nice now Denon.

Graham; We drove through Inverary on our way!
