A Skiff Wind blows over the water-An account of my winter project to build my first wooden boat, a 13' plywood QT Skiff designed by Jim Michalak. Now that that boat has been launched and is in use, this blog will now also document all of my other boat building and general "MESSING ABOUT IN BOATS"

Across and Back, every point of sail!
| |
First real sail, across the river and back. It's soooo good to sail again I'm calling these pictures "Debauched Digital Photographs"(DDP's) |
I believe I had truly forgotten what it felt like to feel welcomed by the water, the river that runs down to the sea and connects to all the oceans of the world. It is good to be back.
Did I cross back over the river from the under world, The River Styx
Or was it needing to forget, The River Lethe
have I, crossing, got me over my woe, The River Acheron
have I left the shores of lamentation behind, The River of Cocytus
The fires of the river have died down and the water carries me again, The River Phlegethon
I am the ferryman, and I am the passenger
I am the boat, and I am the river
I am the sea

Micro camp cruiser
This is a concept boat that I've been thinking about for a while. A 15 foot camp cruiser with a
small cabin to sleep one and gear. It would have unstayed mast(s) for easy transport or clearance under bridges......
The cockpit is large enough for sleeping too. Oars would be the other source of propulsion.
It would be a small cabin, even just for one, but not so small that 2 wouldn't be able to cram in if needed. I would like it to be under 300 pounds in weight.
