Those who know me at all have discovered (or quickly will discover), that as well as an interest in restoring the one "old girl" Mademoiselle, I am also involved in restoring and even older girl, the Thamses Sailing Barge, S.B. Cambria

http://www.cambriatrust.org.uk/cambria_barge_history/history2.htm

I am just a volunteer on this one - the real work is being done by Tim Goldsack's team of skilled ship-wrights and expert restoreres of wooden boats, who tendered for, and won, the contract once the Heritage Lottery Fund had earmarked £990,000 for "us"

The link gets you to the Cambria website, maintained by good friend and fellow volunteer, Dave Walsh

Gah! Still frustrated by the failure (possibly my failure) to translate this website into my own domain. As is the way of these things, it will still be hosted on the Weebly website where it is being built, but it would be nice if it could be called @kentishhoppers.ork.uk

I wonder whether some progress is being made. On the main Weebly site, where the site was showing no traffic at all, I suddenly have a graph - OK only 2 views yesterday and 1 today, but it's a start
