Man, I have not been here a long time. Had a bit of a pause but I moved up to issue 17 in the last few weeks.  As you can probably tell, the sea chests sapped my will to live. Then I told myself "You can only go ahead if you make some more sea chests, it says ten, you have five". I recently realized 5 is way enough by far to build in one lifetime.

Well, you're guite a bit faster than me. I like the look of your version and that you had the patience to deal with the sleeping mats. Got issue 19 done. Outfitted and painted the lower gun deck inner walls and gunports, also the 32 pounders were put together and rigged.

Thanks guys. One thing is for sure. I've never seen a movie that can evoke so many emotions like installing a gun: despair, anger, anxiety, elation, joy
