I just got this picture from Fisherman’s Bay, Lopez Island. No wake and fast. Of course. I don’t know what design. It looks about right to me though.
Maybe a bit bigger amas with reverse bows also. For that badly timed run out Cattle Pass.

Finally starting to get better. Several people here have jobs I’m working on. Almost 2 weeks ago I got slammed with the worst cold I have had in decades maybe. I have the flu shots and usually I beat it in a couple of days. Not this time. Finally able to eat and drink.
I haven’t forgotten those jobs; I just vanished more than a week.
Starting back.

I hear this venerable 45 might be for sale again.  Surely still more times across the Pacific since the last note what, 4 years ago?

I got these pictures of one of my cats from Australia’s gold coast. I was told it is about 45 feet and open bridgedeck. I would have guessed is Paul’s Quemarla or however is spelled. Anyone know more about it?  I see is named Gato.

I see that Owen has discovered a huge amount of great stuff and will dribble in in this week.  I have had some unexpected parent health issues so has been demands on my time last week or two.

Five years ago. Still one of the best sailing videos I’ve ever seen. Simmo Kook did such great editing and sound track. And still one of the best examples that the earth is flat. Simmo from near Genoa, Italy picked a Bakersfield punk-folk garage band as soundtrack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9u6UepbaCKo

I got a surprise visit from builders JD and Carol yesterday. From Nome. They are building and re-building their 30′ cat. (the one that was crunched by a barge in a gale)  We all enjoy following their progress on Face.

How cool is this?

Also, been working on Simmo’s new cat today.
