It‘s nice to see you back in the shipyard. I‘ve missed the updates of your beautiful build
It is still a pleasure to hear your approach. Neat, Herman. And ....... enjoy your 40th wedding anniversary.
Regards, Peter
She had home care 5 times a day and my brother, who is already retired, and I took care for her as long as it was doable. But as she couldn't get in bed by herself or stand up from a chair it was no longer manageable nor responsible. The new reality is better for all of us and gives us rest knowing she is being taken care of.
Hi Grant, thank you, you were up early this morning. We are certainly looking forward to it. Not only for our 40th anniversary but we will also celibrate the traditional "Sinterklaas" party with mutual gifts/surprises. First time with both grandchildren. My wife went all out on the gifts, I hope I can stow it all in my car
Thank you Christian. Happy to be back again.
As we speak the front parts of the next set of wales are bent and drying clamped to the model to keep them permanently in shape before making the recesses in them for the gunports.
Hi dear Shota.Dear Herman
pleasure to see you back at the workbench, doing wonderful work
The pleasure is mutual. It really feels good to be back building again, not only to observe all your wonderful logs.

I have simplified my approach. I was busy on too many parts at once and maybe planning too far ahead. It still is my 1st model and I have still a lot to learn and experience..
Thank you Stephan.
Sometimes it simply goes deeper than what you describe in your slogan "If you can't, take a cup of coffee and try again later".
I hope your situation settles down a bit so that you too can come back to the workbench. Looking forward to it.
Thank you Anatoly. I do enjoy every minute at the shipyard again.

Wecome back, I know it is hard to deal with elderly parents, and in my case I have a handicapped son in wheelchair who is now 43 as of last month.
It's been a long hard road, but we do what ever we can to care for our loved ones.

Good morning Herrmann, nice to see you again in your shipyard. I/We are looking forward to further updates and pictures.
Hallo Tobias. Good to be back in the shipyard again. At the moment working on the wales and gunport lids. Easier to make the gunport lids fit before definitely installing the wales.

Dear Herman. It is good to see that despite all the personal setbacks, you have not given up on the mighty 7P. I will always follow along and support your efforts to model what was surely the epitome of Dutch shipbuilding in the 17th Century.
Dear Heinrich. Thank you for your kind words. It is not in my nature to give up so I will do everything I can not to fail on my first project.
Starting from scratch might not be ideal or advisable but it is very rewarding. I am gaining more and more experience as I go and am advancing more accurately than at the start of construction. As a result I encounter some earlier made flaws too drastic for a redo, so I will apply the lessons learned to keep it all pleasing to the eye.
Thank you for the assistance given and I trust I can count on your support in the future.
