gosh - I should have realized with my name I'd have to grow a beard and get a 'goofy viking boat'. I'll have to consider that my challenge.

Thanks for sharing this (and the other) voyages. I...

Thanks for this thread. i've got my hotel room booked for the July "launch" (skipping the WB show in exchange, though).

I haven't seen a description of the launch plans. Do you know when she...

2 mussels on, not under the boat.

Now, how many were on the fenders?

Flagship kelp krill sailfish kingfisher


just for starters

Turkey Hill all natural Vanilla.

Breyers used to have a good dark chocolate, but that brand has gone down hill of late...

I hear it's hard to row. : )

Actually, I'd go look at it (even it if is more boat than I 'need') but it is just too far...

nice find. but it might be a bit big to trailer behind my car. I'd be interested in any viewing reports, though...

But a bow thruster would mean a hole in the boat - of which there are none. Is it really necessary? I guess Nathalie will have to decide if manuvering is too stressful.

What is this, a sure way to get the forum to pitch in for more pixels? ("zoom in, zoom in" echo they crys!)

passerelle brackets on the bow (and/or stern?)

I was planning on taking some time with my 4-year old to look - but if more participation is needed I could investigate strapping my wee lassie ii (modern strip/glass construction) to my car.

Yep. My wife actually took that bus today with the kids to go to a museum.

They have a bus running from Manchester (but not sure about parking there!) and down 93 for stops in Londonderry etc.

We'll be walking in from the Hilton this year. My 4 year old will be right next to the aquarium which is a plus. The first couple of years I did the whalers thing but recently we've been trying the...

When is WB going to run an article on this craft (and designer...)

Perhaps a "how to build" series?

I'll echo the thanks for sharing this piece of boat ownership with us. I look forward to more!

NH see chris' portsmouth and isles of shoals thread.

I had the same thought, having just read the other thread figured it out. funny how context makes all the difference..


that said, are...

I get about 4.5 miles / kWh for my last couple of commutes. I've only had the car (Nissan Leaf) for ~2 months, so we'll have to wait to see what the real consumption is. It is far better than the...

I have the harken hoist for my canoe. As with anything, you certainly can assemble the parts yourself. but to get reasonable quality parts all in one place certainly was worth the price, for me. I...

I think I like Cruising Shanty arrangement B. "A" has the advantage of a good porch, while "B" has more "interior"

I suppose it depends on whether you'd spend time sitting on the porch or not....

great thread. I've started using a "4 cup" french press when my drip maker died. Given my current sludge issues (still using drip (pre) ground coffee) I'm interested in any suggestions for...

I just re-up my subscription every year at the boat show. I just hope no one minds I'm paid several years in advance.

Volt's a nice car- if you can get in and out comfortably (I couldn't) and don't need to carry anyone in the back. I guess that makes the back seat like many compact cars!

I figured I'd need to spend $10k to convert a car - if I already had the car. That kind of put a perspective on any "EV Premium". I pushed my purchase back as far as the rust and repairs on the old...

Nice time to have an electric car. Gonna have to get solar panels next.... of course, high crude makes all petrochemical (gas, diesel, food, epoxy etc) more costly....

Please promise to send pictures if you operate the steam whistle with propane. A nearby ignition source will make it very impressive.

Thanks for the birthday wishes.

Nice lights there - i'll have to head north to find some. I've got a sister-in-law in Barrow, but I'm not sure I want to go that far....

Thanks! I've been wanting that "feature" for years!!!!

Chocolate covered strawberries and old champaigne and toast at midnight in Rio. Can't keep the 4year old up later. (she gets most of the chocolate strawberries along with seltzer water)

Happy new...

I'm just waiting for another WB article by Tad featuring Turtle Bay!

but what about the beer cooler? Wasn't it on the roof? Of course, from what I read it won't stay full for long.

Seriously though, this is really nice information. Thanks for putting it into...

I figured he was waiting for a selection of carved name boards to show up by post before spring.... The picture is the template for content and size and he's got a fairly enthusiastic audience, some...

Hummm. Portland Me? Do you have visiting hours? I've got a 4 year old I'd love to show a working (daughter-driven) build....

it looks like you left all the links from your webpage back in that gemini capsule - 404s on every link I clicked!

Don't you hate that! A number of times this year I had to run through the house shutting windows in a frantic effort to keep the bulk of the stink out.

Perfect info. Thanks.

I am thinking about building a scale model of a ~15' rowboat to get an idea of the construction and lofting. Is there a minimum size or scale to consider? I suppose tyring to scale fastenings is...

Congratulations. I look forward to your whole account of your recent "vacation" and all the things M. Bates did (oh, and what you and Nathalie did would be of interest too, I guess).

Nice sailboat. How does it row?

but we only pay them $100/year.

Wow. What a yard! Thanks for sharing here and on your website.

Nope. We are in the bilge, so discussion of cat scat is pretty much par.

I should know better than to start a serious thread in the Bilge. Perhaps I should have called it a "boat" and done it up in B&R.

9 8' lengths of "D Fir" in the car waiting to be unloaded. Now, how fancy do I get in the joints? Getting it done may be more important than fancy joinery.

I vaguely remember cedar may have a better decay resistance. But isn't that "good" cedar ? The only cedar I could find is at a big box

Is there a sealing or treating of hemlock that could...

Cover is planned - for sure. I don't know what material - tarp or canvas - or even just a piece of lattice

I want to build a sandbox for my kids. No time to do a fancy " boat" sandbox (perhaps we'll save the effort for real boats in few years) so I'm thinking of somthing along the lines of this:
This...

You said guess often, right?

Then I'll say it is (part of) a reboarding ladder.

Name board, it is. will it be gold leaf'd?

looked at them, plus several other small/more local outfits. Decided not to do PV right now, but I did sign a contract to install solar domestic hot water (not with Solar City- they only do PV)

My understanding of queuing theory leads me to suggest that there is a single queue for the handicap stall(s) and a single queue for the regular stall(s). If one class of stall has an empty primary...
