Well Ebb, Elii be a contraction of my parents' initials, Henry is what I call my dog, whose proper full name is King Henry of Orange. The lettering she has on her outside now is temporary vinyl white block stick on letters and is on each side at the aft end. After she is painted in her new color which will happen when time and money permit, the letters will be in a much nicer font, and will be emerald green and will be in the same place. She is in the middle of a major remodel right now which is progressing very slowly because she is staying in the water ( I sail alot) until the moment that I can do no more without hauling her. After she is hauled, she will get bulwarks, new stanchions and lifelines, paintjob, and new standing rigging and will have her outboard well built into the lazarette as she is being converted from inboard to outboard. I want the space inside for water tanks and storage.
Pictures are required!
Indeed! How dare you post such a "wordy" reply about restoration and such w/out pictures! I think the forum administrator should give you a formal reprimand! ...and not even a picture of your four footed namesake to boot. Shame shame...

Well, Ebb and MBD, would one of you fine sailors like to come fish my camera out of the lake? I'll supply the beer but you're on your own for air. The camera should be quite fine as it is in a very strong Ziploc brand freezer bag. The problem is that the water is about 85 feet at that particular spot in the lake. But I will continue to work on pics and camera retrieval.
Doh! Perhaps next time you should add some positive flotation to your waterproof bag. Sorry about the camera!
