A lot of little errors and things not quite up to snuff, but there you have it!
I’ve learned what works, what not to do and above all “Re-Do” patience.
The next adventure — tying Ratlines.

Good morning Jan- your memory serves you well- H has it so sorted with Anna and her delicate fingers doing his ratlines etc. the rest of us fill those swear jars and continue .If memory serves @Heinrich had quite a bit of help on weekends tying knots.

Congratulations with this milestone, Jan. That standing rigging is looking very nice.Another milestone is in the works. I can turn to page 46 in the build instructions. At the bottom of page 46 is the next build step --- "Ratlines on the fore shrouds and main shrouds are made of 3mm......"
Thank you Peter for looking in.Congratulations with this milestone, Jan. That standing rigging is looking very nice.
And thumbs-up and fingers crossed for your next page ……….
Regards, Peter
Aha, changing your attention to something else is always good.@Peter Voogt
BTW The Admiral and I vacuumed and dusted the Chaperon Sternwheeler this morning. I decided a small change in the build line up would be great after all the previous knot tying.
