Cavalla Progress?

nikimcbee · 01-08-09, 02:13 AM

Hey Neal, how's the progress coming along on Seawolf Park? Do you guys need any more volunteers to work out there for a weekend?:hmm:

Any photos of the restoration would be cool.

I could be available to help, given a little advance warning.

@Neal,
Bump, any news?

Open...they opened the Stewart yesterday

Some images from 2 weeks ago when the Stewart was still closed

I have pics of the Cavalla and the Stewart

A few are blurry (I was messing with camera settings) but all in all I got quite a few shots

Those are the torp's that Neal and I helped load in there!

Onkel Neal · 06-16-09, 01:48 PM

Hey guys, pick a weekend (other than the 4th) and let's get together and have another work party. Mookie and I are local, Rip said he was interested. James says he is interested.

mookiemookie · 06-16-09, 02:23 PM

I'm all for it!

nikimcbee · 06-16-09, 06:59 PM

Banzai!

Can I sleep on the couch? Let me check plane tickets

nikimcbee · 06-16-09, 07:02 PM

wait a minute...

Is this to work on your submarine model?

Chad · 06-16-09, 07:30 PM

Hey Neal,

Talked to James a bit about the work trip. We've got a $215 airfare thing so I'd be able to make it down there and back without any real problem except lodging and transportation if you decide to go ahead and do this.

When you get a date in your head (at least 3 weeks ahead so I can ask off of work) let me know and I'll see what we can do. James will post more later

nikimcbee · 06-17-09, 01:23 AM

I'm all over this!

Southwest has tix to hobby for....$139~$205.

So....Hotel d'Cavalla?

how many days?

Can we play your SH5 demo disk?

Will I be shot in the rump with a paintball?

UnderseaLcpl · 06-17-09, 03:36 AM

I think I can manage this trip. The later it occurs, the better, since I'm laid off from my regular job and trying to save money, but I can make anything after the 4th work. That is assuming that you'll let me crash at your place again, Neal. I'm kind of getting down to the wire on money for the September meet.

I'm also going to try to book a cheap flight for Chad using my stepfather's American Airlines benefits. It's a first-come first-serve thing, so again, the more time to prepare, the better.
Finally, I'd like to know what we are going to be doing, exactly, if you have any information on that. If there is going to be any kind of structural repair or welding involved, I'm going to have to brush up on my welding skills. I can do TiG, MiG, and arc-welding, but it has been years since I applied any of those skills. I can also use an oxyacetylene torch with a fair degree of competence, and am capable of performing basic electrical repairs(mostly limited to basic wiring and circuit troubleshooting). Of course, if they just need another fair hand with a shovel, or someone to do heavy lifting, I haven't forgotten how to do that. One does not easily forget the skills taught by filling a few tens of thousands of sandbags.

Only if you run like a coward!

IIRC you took the last hit square in the chest like a good soldier.

Rip · 06-17-09, 08:59 PM

I should be up for most any date. Depending on my workload and the lack of floor sleeping space at Unkel's I can go there and return without going all the way to Houston. Although I am hoping to get a little shipmate sea story time and stuff if all goes well.

Really looking forward to spending a little time getting the lady back open to the public as well.

The CHF added some forums to their website as well. Of course I have yet to make it there to signup.

Rip

edit to add: Or even stay on the boat. That would be cool. The way I figure it they still owe me a night.

But absolutely no cranking or hot racking!
