QE2 Story Jigsaw "Evening at Sea" by Peter Mugridge

[June Ingram]

Congratulations, Isabelle, and a fine job indeed !  Peter's capture of QE2's elegance at sea in her element is marvelous !  I am sure QE2 (jigsaw) enjoyed her stay at your shipyard.  QE2 Liverpool Calling is currently in my shipyard so having my name at the bottom of this list is good.

Absolutely marvelous, Isabelle ! QE2 (jigsaw) looks wonderful on completion of her refit, and her Naval Architect looks very happy with the outcome !

Pete C has let me know that his shipyard is not available right now for "Evening at Sea". Quite a number of other shipyards (i.e. Forum members) were tendering to undertake this refit -- if you see your name in the quote below, would you like me to send you the jigsaw? Please let me know. I would then ask you to PM me your address, so that I can ship her off to you .

Pete C has let me know that his shipyard is not available right now for "Evening at Sea".

Pete's shipyard has been refurbished, and QE2 yesterday set sail with pride (and in the package that already brought her here!) to have some fine rebuilding done.

And so, the updated list is this :

Pete, Mrs Pete and Jim, enjoy having QE2 to take care of, and let us know from time to time how she is faring .

Hi Isabelle -

This is very exiting news that QE2 (jigsaw) has set sail for Cain International Shipyard.  I am sure supervisor Jim is ready to receive her along with docking crew.  I understand that Jim is able to get together exceptional staff in all areas of his and Pete and Mrs. Pete's shipyard. 

I look forward to hearing of QE2's arrival and hopefully photos of her and shipyard staff !

Well done Isabelle, I'll give it a go, but wait till post Christmas postal rush I think. Don't know if you have my postal details , let me know & I'll send a PM, once again well done,     pete

Well travelled jigsaw arrived without ceremony today trusted postie Martin, opened door & she slipped in....
local customs have  been cleared(i'e the many knots hand tied by Isabelle, have been released) & crew have been given shore leave until new year 2017. How not to do a jigsaw done by Ian McNaught???

[pete cain]

Just look at the date, I've had this jig saw  for 6 months & have no excuse  whatsoever for not starting & completing it, however events have overtaken me , it looks like I should send it on to a more deserving place (Alan perhaps), pls send me a PM & I'll forward it to you
Pete....

Pete....

Yes, Alan is the next person on the list. Alan, are you ready to take on this refit?

[pete cain]

Isabelle , so sorry not to've replied to your last post, but have got to thinking , I'll bring said jig saw to the 50 event if it helps & do a personal handover, I've sat on it far toooooo long. Let me know Alan regards Pete..

[Peter Mugridge]

That gives me an idea...

How long are the conference breaks?  We could have a "mass assembly effort" on this jigsaw at lunchtime with everyone invited to assist...  Try to do it in record time...

That would be really awesome to see.
