[Public-List] Touch Wood starting last leg of journey home...

[Gordon Laco]

Hello friends,

Another chapter in the saga of my old Folkboat TOUCH WOOD is beginning  
- she is finally tee'd up for the last leg of her journey home.  For  
the past year she has waited in Massachusetts awaiting my next move; I  
cleaned out the accumulated filth and tore away an abortive deck and  
cabin replacement job.  I removed both her garboards to facilitate her  
drying out and there she sat.

By this time next week she will be here on a friend's property and I  
will be able to begin her restoration in earnest.   I have to say that  
the excitement I felt as I sent the down payment away by FedEx  
yesterday surprised me a little. I have a mountain of work ahead of me  
but am eager to start.

Peter Milley, thanks again for introducing me to John Richards the  
yacht transporter.   He will be taking TW home.

If anybody is curious about pictures let me know and I will send them  
off-list.

Cheers -

Gord
