Welcome Aboard Garth,
I was wondering when you would wander over for a look see. Lots of interesting things going on and some talented folk building nautical delights. Have fun and enjoy.

Hi ...
First off, I was overwhelmed by all these responses I've gotten. Today is the first day that I've had a chance to come back to the site since first signing on. Thank you all.
Secondly, the 109. There is a "debate" over whether she was overall Navy Green or overall Tropical Green over a Copperoyd bottom. If you ask me? She was overall Tropical Green.
What's funny about the 109 is that before they all passed on; I received four letters from the then four remaining crewmen of THAT crew, two said she overall grey and two said that she was overall green.
But, the fact is; she was a Green, ... no question. My guess is she was Tropical Green.
To that Gunny: Yeah, I would show my work, but I don't build myself, guys like Bob Cicconi build them for me.
