I am looking forward to catching up on your adventures. Very happy to hear about your new lady and little sailor. Hope that we will cross paths again. Peter’s brother has a house on the water near the Potomac. We visit him often. His home is near Coan River Marina which he once owned. His little cove is a nice hurricane hole. Fair winds.

They look really good Alex, and help restore the classic lines.

He only did the $8 price because he got a few orders from me last time. Please tell him you heard about him through Project BlueSphere. Why don’t all you guys get together and contact him at once. His email is don_close@sbcglobal.net

I kind of screwed up my instillation. I put the first few steps up and measured them on one side as I was putting them up (x inches apart). Well the math does not work that way. There a bit wonky to the eye but work fine. It makes Splendid a bit unique. Make sure you measure step to step.

Cheers everyone

Have a Splendid day.
