    Just off to bed after taking one of those 1,000 mile an hour pain killers for the fifth night on the trot. They work for about four hours [as a rule].

    For a while there , i was under the impression WE,THE ENGLISH , controlled the waters around the country. Apparently not !!!!!! French fishermen are DEMANDING more fishing licences or they will create a miserable Christmas by closing the channel tunnel and all the french ferry terminal ports !!!
    We bail them out of two world wars ——- finance a tunnel to France —— leave the EU ——- the damned EU —— stopped five million Astro -Zeneca / Pfizer vaccinations from being shipped . But they still want us to trust them ?????????

    Stupendous is spoken for . That just leaves the JHC !!!!!

    FERNAGLED some heavy weight slabs of aluminium into a very acceptable KARELSON RECORD BOAT!
    Finally got the hang of creating a VEE 8 JONRUDE ! Without a doubt this last one is something special its the best i have ever created .
    Comes out a tad over 12 kilos [25lbs]. Including the mount. This is an all Aluminium concept —- some 18“ long .. it‘s a beautiful architectural piece , would grace any hall—den or studio and its the best chunk of art anyone could ever buy at $500. there can never be another one quite like it .

    Cadillac sent me an invite from JEFF HALL , who some of you will remember from the old farts LAKE X visit a couple of years back.
    its the last offshore race of the year —- starts at COWES. Called ROUND THE ISLAND RACE .
    Launching today [friday] from the old fairey shipyard in Hamble .
    Might just take a wander down to Southampton se if i can catch up with them . Jeff is racing a big old cougar cat —- used to be lambs rum in the old days — think i might even have an old concept skulling around under the bench. Let’s just see what the day brings !!!!!!

    Was once told by a prominent Swedish artist, never sell anything for under $250 , which is the minimum for a piece of art. Less than that is BRIC-A-BRAC !!!!!!
    Have found out the hard way that no matter what you think its worth—or how long it takes to make- if it doesn’t sell —-that means nobody wants it , so its worthless.
    One of the silver ghosts takes me six weeks to complete . I wont take less than a thousand dollars for each one——thats why i have five of them left .

    OK so i could put a see through roostertail and elongate the mounts , but as a permanent long term fail safe mount, the boules take a lot of beating . It’s no big deal to do a creative five stringed banjo crossed with a clam shell .[if thats what floats your boat]
    With the KARELSON —you get much more for your money — i can sign it PABLO RAYMONDO if it adds value .
