Hi there Ian, Yah still about thanks, hope you're keeping well, the 10 or12 years after retirement spent building boats/ships were most enjoyable but I soon realized it was the planning and building of them that I enjoyed rather than the sailing of them so I found I was running out of space to keep them especially the large naval ships, I've sold all the warships except the last one I built HMS Brocklesby I put so much into her I just couldn't part with her she's still on her shelf I get her down to dust her off and charge her up now and then just in case I get the urge to take her for a sail, trouble is at nearly 80 I'm finding it more difficult to get heavy boats down stairs to the car and from the car to the lake etc. so the 7 boats I still have have become shelf queens, these days I find it more relaxing pottering with my railway not bothered by weather or the time of the year, ho I have been twittering on a bit so Happy New Year to you and all on Mayhem.
Regards Joe
