    Some time ago I promised a view of the Langton gunboat when it arrived.
    Here it is with a Sloop for scaling purposes. i should get onto painting it in the next few days.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    The scale looks really close Rob!

    I have not been able to get back to my sloop and cutter for several days. We had several visits from the neighbor's goats, 24 of them! They have devastated anything we have not fenced to keep the deer out. Peppers, herb garden, blueberries, roses, etc. When they discovered the dwarf apple tree though, that was the last straw. The wife said sore finger or not, I have to finish the fence I was working on when I injured my self! So that is what I am doing, carefully!

    Is this neighbor the kind things can be worked out with by neighborly chat? If not, a polite note about the damages and asking for help fixing them might be in order before escalating to Small Claims Court.
