MFV BF494 'Pansy', an old Motor Fifie Conversion

Another day another plank. To be precise 2 planks forwards one plank back. Gonna take one of the planks back off I did today and start again. I said lots and lots of bad words

One or 2 of the passers by were amused, the one I threw the hammer at for stating the bleeding obvious was less so!

But I can at least confirm, and believe I have now scientifically proven, that it is not possible for a single man to hold both ends of an 18' length of 6"x2" Larch at the same time, whilst also trying to lift, bend, twist and press said plank into shape, hold a large drill, 4lb mash hammer and fistful of nails... AND hammer the fecking things in at the same time.

It cannot be done. At one point I almost convinced myself that if Christy Brown could do stuff so could I and was nearly whipping me shoes and socks off in some dis-illusioned belief that I really could hold a 5" boat spike between my toes and drive it home and still expect to not only be walking afterwards but still also still be able to wear flip flops.

As Jim Morrison once said, "I am the lizard king and I can do anything" (except avoid cardiac arrest & pulmonary edema obviously)

looks alright from a distance, about half a mile should be about right

Ho Hum

Now, where did I put that boat for sale sign??
