He's doing a Flying Dutchman; failed to get a pilot into safe harbors (SOS) and is now lost at sea...I miss H's presence on the forum.
From contemplating to consternation:
@Kolderstok, I can't picture the bottom rigging of the Ramshead block.
Is it three separate lines or ????

It is done in the same way as you do the rigging of the deadeyes.
Start from an eyelet in the anchor winch, up through the ramshead block, down through one of the holes on the winch, up through the ramshead block, down again and through the winch, up through the ramshead block, and belay on top of the winch.
Hope this is clear for you;-)

Now that's a cryptic message if I ever saw one...
Agree. I call that a hit and run
Ah, a voice from the past or just an “ECHO”?
I believe that was a carefully crafted reply. Interpretation is everythingAgree. I call that a hit and run

True story
Good morning Heinrich. So good to see you are alive and kicking. Cheers Grant
Hello Jan, you have a wonderful WB. I was also happy to see the postings from our friend Heinrich.
Thank you for checking out my WB build. Heinrich’s post was a pleasant surprise. His two WB builds are a great tutorial. I’ve worked my way through his postings many times.

Dear Friends: @RDN1954 @Daniel20 @rtibbs @GrantTyler and obviously Jan.
Still alive, still kicking and working 18-hour days. No more kayaking, shipbuilding or anything of the kind - work has made H a very dull boy. The International Department of the school has literally doubled and with increasingly closer ties between Singapore and China, our school, being a Singaporean venture, is very much at the center of collaborative education projects between the Nantong local government and the national government of Singapore. As Head of the International Department and Marketing these projects are all my responsibility in addition to the daily running of the school.

Great to know you are still alive! 
Thanks for the update, Heinrich. Drop us a note whenever you can my friend.
Greetings Heinrich!
