Mike,
We would love to stop by and visit your shop. Thank you very much
indeed. We are flying out to Maine on Tues and will be driving up to NS on
Wed. Our plans are very loose - basically we make them up as we go
along so why dont I just give you a call when we know we will be in your area?
I love to see any kind of blacksmith shop. I know nothing about
boats but I would keen to see one with forged fittings.
Again, thank you.
