Beautiful work. Vic!
I’ll be busy for a while with ratlines.
Things are going to get increasingly crowded as rigging intensifies, but each line you rig gets you closer to the finish line (pun intended).
I now believe I shouldn't have put the sails and associated lines in first. It's too crowded to do good ratlines.
Good morning Vic.
We don’t have an applauding emoji, but you deserve one. Beautiful work. Cheers Grant
My nightmares are filled with things like that!
These ratlines were pretty much a day’s work. And I still got some wrong. I’ve already cut a couple out to redo them.
I’ve made an executive decision: no more putting up sails before ratlines. It was a nice thought to be able to string running rigging between empty shrouds, but it was almost impossible to do the ratlines well. 
good decision !!!
Another one bites the dust! Three masts down and half-way done. 
I’m in a groove, Wojtas! After you do 1000 knots, you don’t even have to measure the spaces between them any more. It’s automatic.
One more down. Two to go. But they’re the big ones. 
The first two gun ports. 
Has your daughter figured out yet that you're never going home?

Yup, dad is not abandoning his ship!Has your daughter figured out yet that you're never going home?
Good morning Vic. Kudos!! You have some serious grit in your soul. I am also busy with ratlines...I do like 6 or 7 and then I can’t anymore. Well done. PS Really cool gunport lids. Cheers Grant
Ratlines are almost done! Tomorrow I can start on sails. 
Another mast mostly done. The highest sail on the main mast is not belayed yet. I’m waiting to do the braces for the main mast and the foremast until most of the other rigging is done.
Hats off to you, young man!
