Almost, nearly ready to begin...

I accidentally posted this on the wrong blog, but since it's already had one comment, I'm going to leave it up here. I've also posted it on the other one now.

We signed off the shell drawing whilst at the IWA National, and Peter sent it off to Tim Tyler by the end of August. The plan was to have it delivered this week, but Tim's running late. We're waiting to hear (next Monday, probably) just when he'll be delivering it. More news of this as soon as we get it.

Meantime, we are now on a winter mooring at Marineville Moorings, just over the canal from the yard, so will be able to monitor progress closely.

I'm having trouble converting the shell drawing to a JPEG small enough to post here; please be patient, at least I'll have more time to work on it now.

We've started ordering kit, even so. So far, I've ordered:

• Mac Mini with 2 Gbyte of RAM, 120 Gb hard drive and iWorks preloaded.
• iiyama PLPB1740S-1 17 Hard Glass TFT Monitor from Misco
• cantilever wall bracket for same from Brackets 'R' Usli>
• Vtronix 1.6 m fibreglass VHF antenna and mount from Marine Megastore

I'll try and post here every week now!
