I became distracted by one I had not come looking for.  Two old guys were readying to launch this fine vessel.  Neither of them were spring chickens.  Nope they were I guess in their late seventies at the time.  I watched for awhile while they did the heavy work involved to prepare their vessel for the travel lift taking it slow and easy well within their means.  No rush here.  This was when I caught the name of their fine craft - &quot;Patience.&quot;  You only give up when you stop for good and turn your back on yourself.  Keep at it when you can.  Life is a number of short sails between being layed up, hauled out or waiting for visas and hurricanes to blow by.  If you still want to build your boat you will - if you don't then you won't and no one should think less of you for that.  Hell building it is atleast half the fun.  sailing is cold wet and miserable when it isn't hot, humid and buggy!  Crack on when you can!]]></description></item><item><title>Nonthawat comments on Project Update</title><author>Nonthawat</author><pubDate>Wed, 23 Dec 2009 22:49:06 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.gleda.org/journal/2009/12/23/project-update.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">89933:783064:comment/6655112</guid><description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas Neil and a very successful New Year!

It's great you've managed to arrange your life so you can continue the build. I've been checking out your blog more or less every day, wondering - is he gonna come back to building his Gleda? Frankly, you had me worried there for awhile! This blog, at least to me, is an inspiration in more ways than you can imagine. All I can say now is - Keep on! You will launch Gleda!<br/><br/>Best wishes]]></description></item><item><title>mike comments on Can't Wait!</title><author>mike</author><pubDate>Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:56:51 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.gleda.org/journal/2009/9/27/cant-wait.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">89933:783064:comment/5726499</guid><description><![CDATA[CONGRATS!

I have been 'consulting' for years and it's so much more flexible. I have to buy health insurance for the family (required by law in Massachusetts) but it's worth it. I have built a 32 X 48 ft platform in my backyard and ordered a poly tunnel to erect over that. We'll start building a our Tiki 46 later this fall. Thanks for your blog, it's very inspiring. I hope to be able to do the same...<br/>All the best, Neil, and continued good luck with the build and the unknown future.<br/><br/>Bob]]></description></item><item><title>mike comments on 260 Hrs - Port Lower Hull Enclosed</title><author>mike</author><pubDate>Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:04:47 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.gleda.org/journal/2007/5/20/260-hrs-port-lower-hull-enclosed.html#comments</link><guid isPermaLink="false">89933:783064:comment/5672226</guid><description><![CDATA[that's hilarious. i feel the same way about building the boat twice to get it right.  i'm building the 46 and i was lucky/unlucky enough to have only enough room to build one hull at a time.  the second hull was done faster, better and less worries.  i'm am now an expert on building the hulls now that i don't need to know it anymore, lol.]]></description></item></channel></rss>
