Ooby the skeg is welded to the hull it is made of steel. The hull is 5mm thick and Jim guesses the skeg is 3mm. We have added a large plate to the hull and now we have added plates to the skeg and made an extra 30 degree sopport plate to increase the pressure against the diameter of the hull.
It was Chat. We were so disappointed the welder we had contracted had let us down as we had hauled out the boat thinking he would come on Thursday. Im very thankful to Ann for helping. Thats her on the ladder and if you look you can see her son Chris in the background. Hopefully we get to see them again once all the work is done.
Im so sorry to hear whats happened in Sri Lanka. I know Im going to die one day thats the only thing Im sure of, the only thing I wish is to die before any of my children.
"But of course what you hear -- especially in Europe -- is FAKE NEWS that distorts everything President Trump says and does "
Im not in Europe at the moment. Im not an anti Trump I dont have the right to judge anyone. Americans vote the president they want. You are the one making jokes of aomething that would benefit the whole world. If Trump believes in the same ideas why isnt something being done.
So using and environment problem is incorrect but using an imigration problem is ok? Politican use any issue to get votes. Trump vowed to build a wall on the Mexican /US border. To deport undocumented immigrants. How much money is needed to do this? How many of that wall was built? Politician say what they think people that vote want to hear. Are you worried that this Green Deal will convince people to vote against Trump and that is why you make fun of this idea?
I try to stay away from political blogs and more when they have nothing to do with the country I vote in. Im not trying to pick on Trump but I think there is nothing wrong with people who care about our planet or aim at creating jobs. Whats wrong with creating a world where power is clean, renewable, and zero-emission energy. Maybe difficult to accomplish but I dont think its something to make fun of.
Track for now its going to be 2 years sailing and I will visit countries around the Atlantic. I want to visit Malaysia, Thailand and Australia but Im not going to sail there.
V I have 4 solar panels and a superwind. I have 10 sails aboard. Main sail 1, 2 Genoa 1, 2 and 3. Storm sail. Jib and Ballerina. Spinaker 1,2 and 3. I do have a one band radio to recieve weather forcast but it has be uninstalled as I had no idea how to use it. I do online weather, windy or windfinder. I have a liferaft which I hope never to use. Epirb registered with my mmsi. I have an Aries wind vane plus a wheeldrive autopilot. I have no idea what ground tackle is and if I have lighting strike protection.
You are going to start me off again Mic. The truth I thought no american really knows where Spain is. Most don't travel out of America or even have a passport.
Spain is lovely and much more down south where I live. The people, the weather, the atmosphere and the culture. Once you have visited Spain you will want to keep coming over. Spain is like being on holidays everyday.
Sorry to hear about your friend. It shows how we should try and make the most of each day as it could be our last. I love the name of your dog. Not sure your sister in law will want a door if she just got freedom from work she most likely will want to travel unless you will dog sit for them when they do.
Have a lovely night with tour family and friends and Happy Easter

Thanks to CS
Diamond its not the rudder. Our rudder is long so it needs the skeg for sopport. Hopefully this time the problem is solved.
