Good to have your company, Cegrundler. Your trawler project sounds fascinating. I was brought up in a wee Scottish fishing village called Port Seaton, where there was a huge fishing fleet. I loved the old timber trawlers that used to be built at Weatherheads boat yard just over the road from where I lived in a fisherman's cottage in the fifties. The trawlers' fishy and salt-sea smell, I loved. But not everyone shared my enthusiasm on that score. The biggest event of all in the villade was when the fleet came home from long trips to the far-away North Sea and Atlantic fishing grounds and the fishwives got to work on the catch. All, of course, long gone now. Best wishes. Neil
