Debbie(wife, AKA Pirate's Wench...my amateur IT) says that if you can forward to me from your computer in e-mail, you should be able to post to forum.

But I don't mind doing it....I get a free preview!! :wink:

Hi, Wayne, sorry to hear about your loss. I started a new year this way several years ago and know that it isn't easy for you; especially Linda of course.

All the best; Graham

I have been sanding the fillers on my bulwarks....and should have them pretty well finished tomorrow..the epoxy is drying slow...(which seems good..since applying epoxy in 80degrees is unbearable.)....the next project will be...to apply cloth and epoxy to the bulwarks.....
will have more pix soon...Wayne

Coming along real good Wayne. Curious as to where you got your chrome rings. Couldn't find any and I ended up making mine and they look very similar.
