OPEN DAY FOR REPLICA BRONZE AGE BOAT PROJECT
- 10 April 2012 17:54164648This sounds very interesting. Is the idea to put the boat in the sea and row / sail it about ?
- 10 April 2012 18:18164652can't find the full details at present andy, on another thread somewhere but it will sail to france, belgium and back if my memory serves me correct.
- 10 April 2012 18:43164655Yep the plan is to float it on the sea and then to see what happens , there is still some debate aboute weather it will float or not and also if it would need constant bailing, ( as you can see I have spent a lot of time haunting the really nice chaps who are running the project
) - 10 April 2012 19:25164657It was an excellent day and my three girls were enthralled by it all, even now they are proudly wearing their self-made Anglo-Saxon jewelry. Lilith in particular was eager to learn the tricks of rope-making and yarn spinning.
A big well done to all concerned and don't forget, tomorrow you can go to the museum and learn to make a green man.
P.S. Not telling anyone how to do things, we were pleasantly discussing the merits of DDC and EH.Politics, it seems to me, for years, or all too long, has been concerned with right or left instead of right or wrong.

weather looks good for it so get along if you can.
