Ship - an equation with many unknowns

People ask me again and again: When do you think the ship will be ready?

This is a really difficult question to answer. A lot has already happened. Take a look - for comparison - at the picture from August 2013 compared with August 2014. I estimate we are 2/3 done. But how quickly or slowly we finish depends on many different factors:

• Weather. Some outdoor work can only be carried out in good, warm weather. You don't have that in your hands.
• Finances: They depend on my income from the sale of books, coaching sessions and seminars - and on what I receive as a gift for the ship.
• Helpers: Over the past few months, many people have spent a few hours or days helping to move the ship forward. I don't know what this will look like in the near future. Helpers are still very welcome.
• Delivery times: Some products have delivery times. Right now we are waiting for a few portholes. That could still take weeks. Let's see.

So I can only make a rough estimate - and I think that April 2015 is a realistic estimate for completion.

You can of course help to speed this up by

• comes and lends a hand
• Books at Down to Earth buys
• treat yourself to a coaching session with me
• Donating money for the ship
• Motivating friends to help

Currently running „Defeating rust“. This is a fundraising project with which I am trying to raise the money needed to renovate the outside deck (rust removal and painting). The campaign is still running and needs fans and supporters. So far, 625 euros - about a third of the required costs - have been raised. It would be great if you could help - whether with a small or large amount, so that we can raise the full amount and renovate the decks before the winter.
