Good morning Peter. Wow even better than the Netherlands football results....Cheers Grant
Thanks, Grant. And to think that I don’t like football at all. Haven't even seen a match.
A bunch of actors who, when they tap their ankle, go to the ground to give the opponent a yellow card.
No, then the cyclists. When they slam into the ground they first look at their bike to see if they can continue. Apart from a tragic accident like last weekend with the Norwegian André Drege.
Or Jonas Vingegaard admitted to the ICU for a few days 2.5 months ago and is now already competing in the TdF.
Regards, Peter
Yep I concur, however I do enjoy the game. I love the TDF. I am a Pogacar fan however hearing this about Vingegaard I have a new found respect for the man. Cheers GrantThanks, Grant. And to think that I don’t like football at all. Haven't even seen a match.

Yep, Pogacar is a very attractive rider. Also Remco Evenepoel was involved in the horror crash in Basque Country April 4th.
Vingegaard: broken collarbone, several ribs and collapsed lung.
Evenepoel: broken collarbone and scapula.
And Pogacar started in the 2023 TdF after a broken hand on April 23th.
Tough guys!
Good morning. Totally. These are a different level of sportsmen. Any sport on two wheels attracts the crazies of this world, people with an attraction for pain
. Cheers Grant
Continued with furnishing the forecastle:
A: the ladder to climb from the deck through the hatch into the dry hold;
B: the hand pump in the galley;
C: the spark plate on which the stove will be placed;
D: the finishing molding at the top of the walls and paneling of the deck beams;
E: a line where the crew can also hang clothes to dry.
The 1st version of the pump was too large. That's why I made a second one that fits better. Touching up some gray tips here and there.........
For the observant viewer: I removed the remaining pieces of the beam in the middle of the deck. I found that too disturbing and there is now sufficient support from the deck beams. See the insert below left.
It is now the turn of the stairs that provide access to the forecastle. This is also in the middle. Then there must also be a protruding floor and behind the stairs a piece of wall that forms a shield with the galley. All of this must also connect with the starboard part, which also includes a piece of floor and wall. The second stove will then be located there.
PS: The pump (of course) gets a piece of pipe in the water tank.......

Not to the bottom, because then the sediment is also included.
(The cleaning will come later .......

Not sure what else can make us wonder unless this water comes from this faucet! Excellent details, Peter!
Hmm. How about a shaving mirror and some early 20th century pin-ups

Mmmm ....... , Paul. I did some search on the internet. The first pip-ups appears at the 2nd WW to cheer-up the American soldiers. And the 1st of the famous Pirelli-calendars came in 1965. It would be not 'historical correct' to ad this kind of details in the forecastle....... and some early 20th century pin-ups
Regards, Peter
With the pump so prominent in view, I could not resist ......
I've also been waiting for a few hours myself, but someone .........You’ve done it…
And now we sit back and wait for a working faucet.
