More volunteers on board and a family atmosphere is developing. We shifted a tremendous amount of gear from Olympus, recovered many torpedo control parts, telegraphs and tallies and disassembled her periscope roundabout. Tomorrow we attack the soundroom.
I have to say that every day I can see visible progress In Ojibwa. With more parts coming home, it looks to me as if the mountain we are climbing is not quite so high today.

No posting yesterday as it was the Submariners Association of Canada's AGM, and I was able to make a presentation to the membership on the project's progress. I got a very favourable response and many good wishes and much support from those in attendance. We'll be working hard to build a firm partnership with all chapters of the SAOC across the country, thanks to the Executive Committee for making it possible for me to tell our story.
Tomorrow is another full day with more of the same. I hope we will have the Olympus's Forward Torpedo Room mainly cleared by the day's end.
Cheers for now from Halifax
good luck dad!
