That's awesome, Mark. I'm looking forward to jamming at PiP next month. Talk about a total opposite from your other Fiddle! We'll grab Greg and "have at it" again! -

In the case of rain I use the closest Hilton!

Another fine example of your craftmanship. The pride of any man of the sea a chest such as this!

Better a Clyster than a Burning Bobstay! Mind the Doxies!

Dutchman, Saw the pics of after works and "whiskey plank", roughout for great cabin. One word, HUZZAH! I long for the day to see her. As for the equine area, I saw a diagram of a ferry powered by a horse on a turntable! Some slick!

My Black "Jack Tar" model Tarpaulin Hat from Hatcrafters is shiney! They have taken the shaped felt hat and first coated it with varnish then black paint. This company supplies hats to the U.S. Navy Sailors aboard the U.S.S. Frigate Constitution.

This is the largest of a series of knot boards I made several years ago. It's 18"x24". I also made some 12"x18" and 9"x12". In the backgeound is a copy of a charcoal portrait my Dad did in 1931. It is of my Great Grandfather, Solomon. Dad used this study for his final piece for his Art Degree from Yale University, Class of '31. The painting was "The Prodigal Son's Return", although bearded, this was the father's face. -

This is a Deck Mat I just made for my neighbor's boat. I have made many over the years and they last a long time, keep their shape and look good. I made one for a friend of mine that has been on a dozen boats since the mid 1970s and has gone on a Circumnavigation! I do enjoy Marlinespike Ropework, greatly. -

I sent the Pictures of Danielle and Kerigan up to Ol' Virginia and got word back yesterday. They were amazed! Thanks so much for all you do. Particularly risking damage to your expensive equipment by taking images of the Likes of myself and Madd'Og! To mention just a few.

Although it would indicate a group with a common goal usually with separate leaders I think of the Greatest Mariner of All. Joshua Slocum. The first man to Solo Circumnavigate. In his Book, "Sailing Alone Around the World", he continually refers to the calm or statisfaction in the foc's'l. Meaning all was peaceful among the Crew. Yet he was alone. That would make this clear as mud. Dutch

Fer many the year I dwelt near by t' thee. A mere twenty mile east o' Montauk. That Isle "of the Little God", Mannasee. Though named for himself, the Dutchman Adrein Block. T'is true, on a clear night, from Mohegan Bluffs we could see the fires of the sentinals of the point of Montauk. Aye! And ye the same. Be ye asured, t'was in the cold o' winter or in the dry days of mid summer that it being clear enough t' see! Fore as well ye knows, thence is where we make the fog! Dutch.

Since it's your day I bring to you a message with animals from my zoo. they're here to say Hippo, Birdie, two Ewes! Enjoy your Day and this whole Year too! All the Best! Dutch "X" (his mark)

Beautiful! So glad you found them and they will continue to be applied in the manner for which they were built. These tool makers put so much into making a quality product that would stand the test of time. To see them use as decoration in some folksy decor is a crime! To see them drawing lond peels of Oak or the Mallet driving Locust Trunnels (treenails) into double sawn frames is what these beauties were meant to do. I'm so glad you guys have these tools and hope they continue to serve ye well! YMHS, Dutch

Well I drove 11 hrs to prepare "Patience" for "Earl". Capt. Sinbad and Lt. Brown sent down the yards on the "Meka"II. We all cleared and battened and for a storm which gratefully went away! I'd drive the distance and prep my boat twice a month if it would bring No Hurricanes!
-
Aye, Hurricane. T'is th truth ye must be of th tellin'. Ye all is wot give misfits, cutthroats and rogues a bad name! As fer me new shipmate, sez I, welcome aboard and bring yer dory!

Doubling lines. Clearing away, battening down. Trying to reason with Hurricane Season!

I have a book, "Sailorman", aboat a fellow that crews on a Thames Barge and learns to sail well enough to crew in the annual races. Very well writen and interesting with beautiful illustrations.
