Day 49
Days Remaining: 185

When the going gets tough....

It's not me. But it could be.

Crikey I am beginning to hate the whole running thing.  I used to love running. Bounding, gazelle like, between puddles, accelerating like a hare across busy roads, climbing hills as if they were gentle declines... Where did all that go?! Beware my brave lads... When you get to 45 you are going to struggle to find the form you had when you were 35, let alone 25... and seeings as some of you probably think 25 is OLD... Just you wait!

Still, tomorrow's a day off the phyz thing, and I can look forward to a lie in and just a walk down to the marina and back to loosen up.

Now then... The boat....
Well I forgot to mention something apparently... It's got a nomex core... It's actually M40J prepreg on Nomex, but that's not that important, any carbon skin on Nomex is going to act like an HM material provided it's stuck on properly... I got hooked on using nomex when I built my last 14... not just for the way it feels in the water (like you are sailing a boat made from shards of steel struck from the hammer of Thor, or something!) but I really like making things with it cos it's so easy!  Anyway, yes if it get's holed I'll sink without a trace... If Tom O wants to duck me, I'll let him! :-)

Sort of sticking it all together now... Taking a little time to line it all up, but it will be worth it... and yes, I know I wanted to be sailing tomorrow, but real life means I couldn't anyway because it's going to howl again!
