    Promises, promises: I want your secret sauce, or at least a sample of what you are smoking. :D
    We all felt invincible 50 years ago, but the feeling slowly went away. Now I wake up thinking about an easy day in the sun and a soft morning stool instead of running out raising hell in Bush Alaska, flying single engine piston charter planes in icing conditions, in crates that belonged in a junkyard.
    Survived 37 years of shaky flying, sailing, diving, big motorcycles between biker bars and lose women.
    Now Lucky to be alive.
    Glad you are bulletproof the next 34 years, maybe I should adopt you so it rubs off on me too.:cool:

    Uh, uh..?
    I adopt you, or you adopt that German Luftwaffe guy?
    Or you adopt me? I play, you work?
    Or I adopt you..? Probably not, bad DNA, not approved..;)

    Cover it all, we adopt each other. Token ring if needed.
    My DNA is 90 proof. And another 34 years sounds good to me also. Need all the help I can get,, even from pilots.

    New pictures today. If you ever wondered why cruise ships are built in Finland and not Romania. Have a good look at that Hull.

    The reason it looks like that is because its not faired yet.

    Glimpse at the first cabin to be completed onboard the "REV Ocean" project. This is a crew/scientist cabin as they say.

    REV Ocean said on their social media that they have been delayed in construction as a result of the effects from the Corona Virus pandemic. They are working to establish a new timeline but at this stage cannot say when in relation to completion/delivery. "This delay affects all of our key work streams, including calls for proposals and the timing of our inaugural cruises," the organization said.

    A Seaonics 15-tonne crane on deck that was installed a while ago at the end of 2019.

    Nice find. Being in construction I would love to have a similar crane on my yacht just for the fun of it.

    Delivery has been pushed back to 2024 now. Not a good look.
