    Default Just washed up on the shore . .

    Greetings mates! Back from a "3 hour tour " Clipper's journey has taken me across the Atlantic, the North Sea, Germany, France and Amsterdam. And on those shores I discovered many new treasures.

    The prize, a sea of my own . . .

    Great to have you back safe in the harbour of the Anchorage after your voyage of discovery Dave.
    I look forward to viewing your attatchments as soon as you get them sorted out.
    Meantime, enjoy all the entertainments to be had on the site which you have missed.

    Very nice boat, David. Are you on your own or do you have folks to sail with/against?

    Working to get the rudder/sail mechanism correct. Found a few helpers at our local hobby store. Great fun! Will see on the contests : ) thanks Rob!

    I wish you the best of luck Dave.
    When the boys were young we had many happy hours watching the old gentlemen sailing their squadrons of model yachts on the local lake.

    I've got a squadron of model yachts at home, but I don't think of myself as old.

    No reflection on you Dobbs.
    I was only about 25 when we took the lads down to the lake so all the chaps sailing boats seemed old to us.
