Hi,
Made it back to Austria in one piece and I must thank all of you in Homosassa for a beautiful boat builders meet. I enjoyed every minute of it and I was looking and talking boats all the time and this is why I managed to take hardly any pictures although I bought myself a new camera before the trip. You can see the pictures in my gallery but being as bad a camera man as a boatbuilder I forgot to make pictures of the boats that were there. At least I got 4 squirrels on a power line or tree rats as Craig called them.

But I will remember the lovely moments on Johns boat downriver and Richards trip upriver to see Manatees which we did ( a mother with the young one breathing ) and the biggest fish I have seen in real life a Tarpon I think Richard called it.
Thanks again to all of you for a wonderful 70th birthday experience with the strongest beer I think I ever had.
When I came back my sister surprised me with a birthday cake of the special sort because it contains a picture of the Adelie 14 I am building which I show you here:

I know it is not half as beautiful as the Appalachian mountains which doc Dyer posted but I like it because of my boat to be finished is on it.
Greetings from Karl
