Thirsty,
Put those bronze oarlocks and oars back on TWISTED SEAGULL,toute
suite!:-) They are way too fine a thing to use on a furture record
holder and rumrunner like TIMS.......
And by the way,do ya think ya got enough nails in her yet? Keep it up
an' we won't be needin' no bleedin' liquid ballast up forward.Those
panels are almost perfectly perforated sheets........just tear along
the dotted line :-)
Why bother with trying to find a flag for CANADA day,just paint one
on the side of TIMS. Mine will have the Irish flag painted on one
side and the Italien one on da'udder side.
Sincerely,
Peter Lenihan,just back from playing with WINDERMEREs chine logs(yum!
yum!) and wondering if he should build his section of TIMS here or
assemble it at the messabout...don't own a trailer:-(

Congratulations on completing what I never could get started. I guess
I'm a better 'idea' guy than one to get it done. See you in a couple
of weeks.

Did you waste any money on galvanizing
of the nails?
Is there any glue in them-thar joints?
Would lose a beauty contest with a Brick!

The Infinite Modular Sharpie, TIMS was launched yesterday at 3 pm EST
in the Great Cataraqui River, Kingston Ontario. I christened her "Use
No Hooks" due to her strong resemblance to a packing crate. A
certain, no nonsence work boat look, to say nothing of the fine
unsanded "Work Boat Finish" that I'm so fond of, yet looks strangely
appropriate on "Use No Hooks"
Cheap yes!, but it floats, doesn't leak, and was actually
controllable under oar power (but no fun to row). I'm pretty sure
that the cast bronze oar sockets double her value!
Pictures of the event are at the boat swap group at
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/freeboatexchange/lst
The hull of the towboat, at 11' 6" is well underway, and I'm aiming
for a launch tomorrow, Canada Day! A fitting time to launch the
world's first TIMS Towboat! Gotta' scare up a Canadian flag somewhere.
I'm painting the bottom now, prior to the flip and cabin attachment.
TIMS will be assembled with all the TIMS barge units at the Amateur
Boat Messabout in Kingston on September 6, 2003. Details of the
Messabout are at:

Hope to see you and your 8 foot TIMS unit there! Someone has to see
if Guiness has a record for the longest boat assembled in a single
day we can go for!

Washing, picking, sanding at my fingers trying to get yesterday's
dried, danged PL Premium off. If it sticks to wood half as good as it
does to skin the TIMS Towboat will last forever!
