I am dying to know what David will think about his creation, now that he can see her properly.
What does David think?
It isn't my creation, it's yours, Annie. I just provided the bare bones of the shape of the boat, and you have put the flesh on those bones, creating a wonderful piece of work that is yours, all yours, and really is something to be proud of. The overall appearance, and the craft work that has gone into the build are all that I hoped that they'd be.
Fanshi is going to be a head turner, when she's afloat, no doubt about it. Those dragons, the black, red, yellow and aqua paint job ...
But the pink. No. Just no. There are too many colours. White would have worked. Perhaps salmon, peach or apricot would have worked. But not a horribly, gruesomely inappropriate chemical pink.
But that's only what I think. What the proud owner thinks is what matters. Congratulations, Annie!
