Johnston Island from the air,now disused and I believe has become a sanctuary.
Charles has managed to recieve his kit.
International Paints supplied the right paints for the job,its the stack in front of Clinton and Tim.
Where you may ask is that? well its as far away as a piece of land can possibly exist from the City of Cape Town where we work from,it is about 170 miles from Honolulu and in the Pacific Ocean.We sent Charles a complete Didi 38 boat kit,what started as the bulkheads and related timber and plys,eventually became all and anything we could jointly think of,paints,mast and sails,engine,deck and interior fitings,elctronics,we did our best to fill a 20ft container for Charles!The picture shows him when he had opened the container,its not as neat and tidy as when we packed it as it was transhipped but still arrived in good condition and all found to be correct and present,we had a surveyor check off each item as it was loaded in Cape Town.
