Ok, Matt Your resourcefulness gets you on top of the curve solving the building problems. Still, I see some jam-up good work going on there. Great looking fishing results too. You got a happy looking gal there too. You are definitely living right my friend!
On the pulley I got a old former dock mate who owns a machine shop to bore it, sleeve it, cut new keyway and add extra set screws in it. He does bang up work got if fit very snug on the shaft. That problem seems solved. Only cost me a bottle of Jack Daniels! Our favorite whisky of course living only an hour away from the distillery up in Tennessee.
Thanks on the invite, My gal loves to travel and drags me all over. I complain lightly but always enjoy new adventure and seeing other people and their culture is always fascinating for me too. I have been planting the seeds to venture down under not getting there just yet maybe I can follow her to china next year and Australia after that. Will have to experience SENOJI. WOW what presentation. Thanks for sharing that part of your life too.
Cheers mate, keep your gal happy. Looks like you two were made for each other.
Dave.
Cool Matt, thanks for sharing the pics of the fishing and the dining. Great progress on the Axe too!
Greetings,
Mr. H. OK my friend...the food pictures...
Couple of coats of Jotun Penguard HB and a sand with 240. I knocked up a template for the panel insert for the gauges and a couple of backing blocks for the thru-hull fittings for the toilet and shower.

Greetings,
Mr. H. All you need now mate is an official looking seal/crest on the front with a microphone and you can start preaching to the great mass of the unwashed. Can I hear an AMEN....

Hey! - That's the same cill you was solar cooken fish upon!! Don't go preachen from that local... I recommend moving your podium to a less smelly area... so the unwashed can stew in their own odorifick aromas! AMEN!
Kidden aside - Looks Great!
Top notch on the helm station. I don't think anyone would question that awesome job on the joinery. Screwed, glued and taped - it will be the last time you have to do that job on this boat!
This is why I like Aussies
