hello to all . barnacle bill here from springfield, ky . yes, it's been awhile since my last post and a lot of water has ran under the keel since. I got involved with caring for my ageing mother ( rip) and won a hard fought custody battle for the grandson my wife and I have raised and that takes a lot of the boating time too.
but concerning boating. still have the titmouse and have added a victoria 18 cutter ( only 5 built) and a nordica 16 and a 20 to the collection ( or inventory which ever way you look at it I tell the wife) and an old sea sprite runabout for those windless days and because the grandson wanted it.
still running the leather sewing shop but a little slow in this economy but still have time to repair a sail and such on the side for my friends.
and the little christopher boy that we held the raffle for that so many of you contributed too will turn 18 yrs old this month ( the doctors say it is a miracle) though he still has many problems he is still here with us . God Bless you all for your generosity. It made all the difference.
sorry to write a book but the forum site prompted me and I had lost the address since the old computer died . the best to all and come visit and sail green river with me. b bill in springfield, ky www.racingleather.com
