Frank et al,
My move is now complete, except for the "unpacking" phase,
which I currently dread. As one might expect I am now in
the "I own too much LEGO" phase as I nurse my aching back.
However, _Gloire_ survived the move without even so much
as a broken spar (I made a special trip where she had a
quarter of the moving van's bed to herself), and I'm starting
to set up shop in my new place--the workshop has taken over
half of the apartment, which was expected; my boxed sets
now occupy a storage unit.

I have four copies of 6280, and two 6271 hulls; if you
wish I can take apart my ironclad and rebuild some small
12-wide 1- or 2-midsection ships.

Although I have those three 6277/6 baseplates, I have no
installations yet; should I bring the plates anyhow? (I'm
not averse to (shudder) taping my name underneath them. I
may also have my mother pin my mittens to my coat...er, not
really.) I was considering building some kind of island or
small unfortified port-of-call, but because I've just moved
I'm not entirely sure if I'll have the time.
Given that I have a minimum of time, Frank, how would you
like me to prioritise my construction?

I'm going to be there around 4 or 5pm, I hope. I will have
to leave for a short time on Saturday to go pick up my NLSO
(who is coming in from Boston by air and will be museuming
while I'm blowing people's ships to bits).
By the way, any Brickfesters have extra black ratlines (from
5988) that I might obtain in trade there? I'm desperate for
some to replace those anemic threads on _Gloire_.
best
Lindsay
