Cavalla Progress?
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.

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

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.  Quote:

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!

Depending on the week, I could spend 4 to 5 days there? I get 4 days off, every other week.

Yeah, true that.
When I was boarding my connecting flight back home in Dallas, my flight was delayed for an hour until a different plane landed. I think something was wrong with the plane we were originally going to use
