Well, it looks like I'll not be there, but I will synchronize my watch to hoist a pint to the memory of Dave, and to all of you who I spent so many electronic hours with and many a gathering like...

It's always the strange and difficult to understand ones that give us the most radical and wondrous view into humanity and our own souls.

I'm glad I knew you Dave.

May your sailing be smoother my friend. It's been a long batch of rough water and lean rations.

With love and respect,
Jamie

Hi all,

Ed Harrow dropped me a note and let me in on the sad news. I'm afraid I haven't been keeping up with the Forum or events too well as the high country of Santa Fe isn't much of a place for...

Well alright Roger, it's sure good to know there's a finally a good alternative for wood boats in the area! When that buyer finally comes through for Victoria, I'll be giving you a call.

The Dreamspeaker Guides are amazing. (The name is a bit :rolleyes: but they're really well done.) You can find them through Waynes link at Dreamspeaker guides . I've got the Gulf Islands one.

Dang Kermit, don't do things like that! I know how you feel having recently taken off a little bit of finger tip with a kitchen knife. My banjo playing hasn't gotten back to normal yet but I figure...

Hey Jeff, Don't go sayin stuff like that, They'll all want to come here :eek: .

I will say that although it doesn't rain hard, the winters can be a long stretch of unbroken grey. We started...

That's her all right. Sadly, I don't have the time to keep her up in proper fashion so I feel it's time I passed her on.

The Center for Wooden Boats is now doing limited brokerage on special boats...

Welcome to the area. There's lots to do and a lot of nice spots to live. Housing prices are high and commute times getting worse, but you should be able to find a place that fits without much...

I silver braze Brass on a daily basis and have come to really like the Harris alloys. JWHarris You'll find them at good welding suppliers.

If you have multiple joints to do, you can do the first...

This sounds like a good way to see the season out. I'll run it past the dear one and see if there's anything on the docket already. Hopefully we can both make it.

Terry and I moved a load this evening and I know that Meer is planning on Saturday happening so that should continue as previously discussed. I'm needing to move Victoria down from Pt. Townsend and...

Ah Nick, the thought of those smells takes me back to strolling the docks in Stockholm on a warm spring day a few years back....Nothin like it!

I'm glad I checked. I'll keep loose and see what new schedule comes up.

I'm currently planning to bring Victoria back from Pt. Townsend on the 24th but let's see what happens.

Jamie

Saturday's got some previous plans in the afternoon so morning is best for me. Let's keep talking on this plan.

Jamie

Ok, Here's my little batch.

Gartside's Surprise
...

It was a great fest. I got to see most of the group as they came by Victoria. It was nice bending a few with Bob Q. & son etc, and Meerkat. Earlier I got to sit for a while with Bob Smalser and spent...

The 17th can work for me too. I'll bring the van and dollies.

Jamie

I'll be happy to have Victoria as meeting place. I can take a poll and we can figure out a beer garden time.

See you there
Jamie

(Omigod, that's only a week away and I've got do much more...

Dave,

I've got to get Victoria ready for WBF but I can definitely give you a hand after the festival. I've got the van, dollies, and moving blankets too and may be able to have them available for...

Talking with the barber the other day, we both found that Naw'lins was one of the places that we needed to get to one of these days. Now it looks like I'll never see it as so many have. :(
I...

Hey Kermit, I'd love to see you and Katie again. Betsy should be up on Saturday but I'm not too sure when. I'm not sure where we'll be docked but I hope you'll look around and find us.

Paul,...

One of the WB highlights is the SALTS program. They've recently completed the Pacific Swift, a 115' Grand Banks fishing schooner. If you're lucky she may be moored in the harbor in downtown. SALTS...

Thanks John,

I worked on it until it came through on the preview screen but it looks like nothing is for sure with these things. I'll try a little editing and see if I can't get it right. ...

Gee, after starting this august organization some years back, I had never thought that there were actually members, or that there was anything more required for attendence than to get ones body to...

It's been a while since I've checked in but I'm glad to head the discussion away from the lovely Atkin designs and back to those of Bill Garden. For the past eight years I've been the owner of the...

Hi Jorma,

Nothing like a teak deck thread to somehow find me poking around the forum again.

Jimmy, I think you've gotten the best answers that you can on this one. I will confirm that using a...

Billy, you may have a point. I guess it's wishful thinking that we might be respected.

As far as a mandate, I haven't looked at the numbers to know the exact percentages, but I do know that dang...

I can only hope that the closeness of the vote will be fodder for cooperation and healing. There is no mandate. I extend my hand to all who will truly seek freedom and justice, two things I think we...

Hi all,

You should have seen the grin on Daves face when I handed him a printout of the thread. You're all helping in his recovery.

The docs have said that they hope to have him out this...

Hi all,

Today I stopped by at Harborview Hospital to check on David's progress as I hadn't heard from him for a few days. There were good reasons. A few days ago he aspirated some of the lovely...

Well I've just talked with David and am happy to report that things went well with the operation. The docs removed a golfball sized tumor from his neck, getting the vast majority but deciding to...

We got lucky at dinner tonight that the pub we were at had the CBC overage on instead of US network. We got to see the highlites of the Star class racing and the Canadians taking the Silver. Looked...

Mr. Meer,

I hope the biopsy goes well. Betsy (my dear Dr. wife) was definitely happy to hear that Thyroid was the basic prognosis as it is vastly more treatable and survivable than other...

With your dipstick bolt, it almost sounds like it could be proper thread pitch but a size too small, as in 6-32 vs. 8-32. Just a thought...

Good luck,
Jamie

And Washington's Hood Canal.(It's a finger of Puget sound, not a true canal).

I've never been able to figure this silliness out. How do each of you look when you're properly suited up for working on your wooden boat with eye and hearing protection and dust respirator? If...

Fair winds Dave...

My thoughts are with you all.

This could be a show to remember, especially with Big Mike joining her in America the...

:D :D :D :D !!!!

Aww heck, I've gotta keep better watch in this place. I'm so sorry Margo.

It's really something to watch someone face the reaper and decide to make fishing plans instead. I won't be surprised if...

We motored Victoria over to the Center and I'll stop by tomorrow to freshen up the varnish and generally tart her up to look her best. I thought the fireworks were going to be the high point of the...

Too bad Scott, I was hoping to meet you. I've got to head out Sunday evening to Port Townsend for the Fiddle Tunes Festival, so Victoria will be untended on Monday. A friend will be bringing her back...
