Hello my name is Ron. I’m from a small shoreside town near Sandy Hook. I’m 61 and still working (Offshore Turbine Manager). Ex Navy ex Marchant Marine (Ft Schuyler).

Thinking the OcCre version. Any advise?

5 months into Beagle. Things have been going slow. Did not like the way it was turning out with lining the hull, so I quit for awhile. My hands were shaking to much due to new meds I need for seizures. I will get back into it soon.99649DB3-D588-4FCA-8C2F-AA1D21895908.jpegD5F801F5-223D-4183-94A9-0502F240393D.jpeg99649DB3-D588-4FCA-8C2F-AA1D21895908.jpeg
