I thought I had provided indications of sufficient interest when I
explained that I was looking for help in finding plans for a float
bridge to mate with a ferry model that I have. At this point it's
probably moot since I think that the recently released kit by Bar Mills
will fit the bill. I just hope they don't sell out of it before I become
gainfully employed again and can afford to spend the money on one.
