    Just when I was missing the smell of epoxy in the morning, Maddog shows up!
    Welcome back!
    I know, its odd seeing your workhorse floating.. but you'll get used to it.

    Maddog!! Hooray - great to see you back!

    Yes, when the End is In Sight it does become a bit alarming.  Even stranger is the fact that after launching and going sailing, you may well find yourself in 'boat-building mode' for quite some time and notice your brain turning to The Next Boat.  Don't worry: it's all part of the anti-climax that always follows an achievement of this sort of magnitude.  After the first shock has worn off, you'll find that all that hard work and stress was worth it.  The best of luck to you.

    Hey, Maddog, summer's coming, and it's time to emerge blinking from the boatbuilding shed and hit the water. Good luck for the launch!

    Hey welcome back Maddog and well done

    ...and now you can answer my burning question, if you will? was it Maddog you who put concise Go Pro Camera instructions on the web?? or is there another Maddog on the loose out there ;-)

    Welcome back Alan.  Good luck with your launch and your life impediments.  I sincerely hope you have some good physical capacity to add to your indomitable will.

    Presumably you know the rest of the quote. Suffice to say despite numerous mental and physical impediments overcome since my last appearance around these parts, Albatross is finally... almost... ready to launch. She became a real live legal entity on 4/28/14 by applying for registration and title with the Commonwealth of Pa.

    I am attempting through indomitable willpower to overcome my "Hermit's Disease", (inherited from both parents.) So here goes...
