It is HOT here, but everybody is busy working on stuff. I fixed the swinging door into the galley, and sanded then revarnished all the railings on the fish deck.

The engineer got it running again just last night. It's old. The boat is looking real good -- all the decks are painted and a lot of old stuff has been cleared out.

There's a little something for everyone! - Relocate without leaving home...
The Commonwealth of New Island
I've thought about "where" for so long that the idea of an imaginary place took hold. After many years of mulling it over and playing around, I've developed it -- and continue to develop it -- into a real imaginary place called New Island.
