Probably 10 or 15. I actually have high-hopes for this fall. Still LOTS of work. I have no idea how the tall ships of the past ever got built. Even with hundreds of men – no power tools!

Dang! Nice work there. May she sail fast and true when she finally enters the water…in what, about 10 years?

Thanks! Our cat is named Ellodine – it means “Queen of The Elves”. Read it in a book over 12 years ago – always liked it.

She looks great. I assume she sails? Where does the name come from?

Ah, but your satisfaction and pride in her are something money cannot buy.

She’s coming along nicely. It’s truly becoming a lost art as the last of the great old wood workers have to give up. I’m sure you have a new appreciation for the disappearing skills and labor it took to build the thousands of massive wooden ships and pleasure yachts from days gone by. I think a Trireme warship should be next on your agenda, I can see you standing in the back, sails full, head shining, banging the drum to keep your slave rowing crew in rhythm:)

Keep it up and have fun.
