Joshua Slocum was one salty dog and besides he was one of those indomitable characters that popup ever so rarely in history. Sorry for your loss in the Napa fires - at least the digital model remains safe in the cloud - a lesson for us all.

I should pickup on the Spray once I find a little breathing space. I seem to be in high demand because of some strange ideas I've had for how the human brain works and how to transpose those ideas into silicon.

One of the things that I was puzzling over, when I last left off, was how to build the hull so that it would have the look of the original without too much work. Still thinking about how to go about it. Maybe I'll get lucky and have an inspiration to finally nail it all down.

Best, -Gil
