I figure I can lose my gps now , the arrow on a compass always points North so I cant get lost.
You know me I am always trying something new.

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles

Nice Ron, Very nice

Ron that boat is looking great. If I ever get work going my way i will finish up the Northwind. In the meantime it's about time for us to hit the River. I NEED r&r and a few Salty Dogs.

I didnt like the way the cockpits and decks came out so I sanded them back to raw wood.

Ok, what just happened there? Did you remove the arrow detail for the other design? The arrow was very subtle in the early photos (bare wood) and didn't "pop" until you had the glass on.

Got any other gems you're hidding from us? :wink:
