I probably could also count my 2 or 3 6057s. Also like everyone else,
more rowboats and canoes than you can shake a stick at, plus numerous
pirate rafts (or bits thereof).

You should see Auczilla X winnings pretty soon. I got mine yesterday
(that's why the 6289 hull set is on the "have" list and not the "comming
soon" list, as well as a 6280 center section, and a bunch of sails).
I've been seeing several lots of sails, and of course am still working
on figures (I need to count those also). I also need to count my cannon
and figure out how many shooting cannon packs to get from Italy (does
anyone know, does S@H have a non-shooting version of the cannon service
pack?)

Guy in a generic sense I assume (if I recall, that was Julie Krenz). I
wish Steve would put up more pictures of his ships since he should have
a 10 wide ship made from those parts). A good starting point would be to
just upsize the 6277 cutter.

Yea, there's been some activity. I've been so busy lately that I don't
read the paper very thoroughly so I've probably missed a few articles.

OK, thanks.
