[OT] I'm celebrating!

Thu, Jun 21, 2007, 6:35am (EDT-1) snipped-for-privacy@iedu.com (Morris=A0Dovey) doth sayeth: Thanks! I'm hoping to need a bit more cargo capacity than the Solar21 provides. IMO, that was a gutsy crossing. Even with two hulls, a 10m boat seems pretty small for a trip like that (although I once met a guy who did a solo crossing in the other direction in a 17' sailboat).

I've got plans for a Viking longship stuck away smewhere, just let me know.

A 10M, monohull for crossing the Atlantic can almost be considered humongous.

While not the smallest by any means, back in the 60s, Robert Manry, a newspaper guy from Cleveland, built and then sailed Tinkerbelle, which was about 14 ft, across the Atlantic.

Years later, understand Manry's son helped rescue Tinkerbelle from the junk yard and donated her to the Western Reserve Historical Society where she has been restored.

I thought we were going to use hemp for that.

Petroleum based oils are the best bike lube, since they don't gum up. What'll we need, 1 pint per bike every 3 years?

I dunno (maybe) - how about lifetime lube for replacement knees, hips, elbows, fingers, ...?

G'day Morris, Have been pretty close to the place you're in ;) I have sold plenty of my toys and other stuff locally, but when I me a real buzz. A bigger boost was when a lady came back to me saying that her niece really loved the dolls cradle and it was definitely the only one in Norway. Keep on keeping on mate

regards John
