Thank you! You are indeed fairly close to me! We often go to West Marine in Crystal River when we need something for the sailboat or just to walk along the beach. I'm glad you liked my block. I rather surprised myself because the block came from a book of blocks which showed various blocks and gave a little history; but didn't break them down and actually show how they were put together. I have still considered myself very new and still learning; but I did manage to figure out how to put this block together! Sorry, I hope that didn't sound like bragging. I have been wanting to learn some new blocks and I'm finding it hard to believe I just taught myself a new one! Praise God! I am teachable!
