Terve Tapcho!

The winter in the Northern Hemisphere has many doubting that global warming is a problem. In Alaska, Spring's arrival is heralded by an event known as the "breakup" - the sudden breakup and flow of the river ice. It's one really big event there. The only "breakup" I can find for Finland has to do with the Euro - yes, I know, "no wonder the rivers are still frozen there".

In the same vein we've all been waiting for "Tapcho's spring thaw" to occur, so progress on "The Flying Ship" as inspired by Ian McQue can progress...,

Sorry if this sounds pushy - because it is...,
