Yep, know Paul Kidd. He has been a big help to us over the years. Brought us some much needed parts for our restoration effort.
Things on Torsk are going well, at least below decks. More and more systems are coming on line. We are in the throws of restoring the lube oil , fresh water cooling water, and Seawater cooling systems in the Forward Engine Room. Once that is completed, who knows, maybe our #1 and #2 MEs will finally run again. Our latest conquest is the 1MC/7MC. It is not 100% yet, but getting closer every weekend. We are also working on the bow planes trying to get them operational.
You probably wouldn't recognize the old gal if you haven't been aboard in a while. She's looking better and better inside. As for outside, we are still battling to get the deck topside rebuilt and the sail repaired. Both look like hell and the deck is getting dangerous. We are hoping to start the deck restoration this summer. Funding is the issue (so, what's new?).
