I thought it was bad luck to change a vessel's name??

But, very smart people that can undertake such a project.
At my age " getting lucky" is remembering what I came in the room for ;)

Pretty impressive paint stripping and repainting gear!
One way to add a few rooms to the floating hotel.
Would have taken a few tubes of Silastic to seal the joins.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
