    Hey Roger, did your boat sink, is it in dry dock, did you retire? You sure are knocking out them flats, and mighty nice ones I might add (y)!!

    Thanks for the comments everyone.
    I'm into my last week of this leave so there's not going many more finished figs to show this time home. :(

    Kev, the lacework is the part I'm least happy with at the moment and I haven't found an approach I prefer yet but when I do I'll let you know.

    Roger.
