Dear friends,
I am restoring an old Norman 17 in Sligo, Northwest Ireland on the shores of beautiful Loigh Arrow where I live. Since April I have been documenting, photographing and filming my experiences and have created a large and active thread. I will post update links here as and when I finish them and I hope some of you might find the thread of interest or fun.
The active thread is here
http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056217528
Apologies for linking to another forum. It's of relevance and hopefully interest to members here cos its a Norman 17. There's no point posting stuff twice. If mods are unhappy with this, please feel free to delete and again my apologies.

OK, I just hate putting hours of work into writing updates and never knowing if anyone is looking. I'm not looking for people to respond everytime, just once so I know I'm not "talking to no one there".
Anyway, Day 46 and 47 are now up. Day 46 saw a bit of a disaster and was almost "the straw". Things have eased somewhat, and I'm back on course apart from weather constraints.
Day 46
Day 47

I'm rarely unhappy Kieran so worry not. We like to see other forums about our obsession! Gives us something to read inbetween keeping afloat! |
