I was talking recently to my parents back in Ireland and they were telling me that they had been doing some pretty big jig saw puzzles to pass away the time during the long Irish winter. Well, here we are approaching 15 months after the start date and this 100,000 piece puzzle is taking a wee bit longer to put together than we expected! The pieces are coming together but the time taken to match two pieces is taking too long and we are under increasing pressure to achieve. That said, we have made good progress towards the launch date. Work continues inside at a pace and outside there is now paint on the hull, the deck is being sanded, the companionway hatch has been made, the galley work tops have been veneered, strops have been leathered, cockpit coamings have been varnished, hinges have been ordered, delivered, and have to be changed because they are chromed, through hulls have been fitted, engine exhaust system has been terminated. And so it goes on, and on and on.
My apologies but time is limited, so this will have to be a short one.
Jono.
