I loved sailing my shop-bought toy boats on Blackheath pond as a boy in the 60s, and remember gawping with envy at the wonderful craft sailed by adults, up to fully rigged fighting galleons! A train-driving acquaintance of mine was making a 3-4 foot long scale model Royal Navy destroyer when I left the UK six years ago, and he was intending to sail it. I lost touch with him, but hope he is continuing this fine and skillful hobby/passion.

Lovely, and I liked the way that the title of this post can be read in two ways – a model president, and resident, indeed.
