Ah, a lovely and well detailed post! Perhaps you would be interested in sharing this on Captain Twill?

Nicely done! Had you applied any fabric or wood treatment to protect the piece? I had come across this video while wandering through bushcraft videos, and was intrigued by the possibilities for protecting a wide variety of materials (canvas, rope, etc.) without substantially changing their color (as with Townsends video on oilcloth). NeverWet by Rustoleum is also in our paint locker, awaiting a trial…

Indeed, thank you! I loved him playing at the end… and was doubly happy when I realized I know how to play that song on the pennywhistle Braze gifted me. 😊

You have such a gift…

That sounds lovely!

While I won’t go into details of the watch system, as it has been covered in other threads (click the tags above to see the related threads), I thought our assembled might find this app useful. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/five-bells/id1579094984 When installed, the app helpfully chimes out watch hours - a great way to understand and reinforce how the bells were struck, and when. For those interested in the dog watch option, you may click the Royal Navy setting. For those individuals who are time challenged (such as myself), the bells are an excellent audible reminder to keep me on track. Enjoy!

Well, Stynky and I have been talking a fair bit recently. But the early morning wake up call from Mission certainly surprised me! We nattered on for over an hour about upcoming events, the Pub, Star Wars, pop tv, costuming, research… but as usual, he had me laughing most of the time. It was good…

Ahhh, Cascabel… you are missed.

Thank you for sharing the lovely captures of your crew!

Ah, PoD, those are some lovely photos, indeed! Thank you for sharing them!

Huzzah! Hehehe 😊

Has anyone heard from Gentlemen of Fortune? I need a new pair of buckles for my shoes…

Nicely done!

Ah, our favorite wandering surgeon… what a wonderful topic! I would love to see Robinson Crusoe Island, Port Royal…

Happy, happy, happy birthday!
