                                Great website 
                                  ! Nice to see the Plans and Projects all in 
                                  one place. Wondering if you're looking for more 
                                  links for your Project Index. I'm working on 
                                  a Glen-L 
                                  Hot Rod. It's a 60's-style v-drive ski boat 
                                  powered by a 283 CID Chevy V8.

                                  readers will recall that Jim Ward built a Tolman 
                                  Alaska Skiff in my shope a few years ago. 
                                  He and wife, Mary, dropped by last week to regale 
                                  us with tales of the inside passage and an invitation 
                                  to come salmon fishing. See their blog.

                                 I was recently 
                                  doing some reading about NYC maritime history, 
                                  I read about the old HORSE POWERED ferries used 
                                  to cross the east river and Harlem river. Did 
                                  a quick Google and foudn some neat sites....

                                After we took 
                                  our son, Joe, to the San Juan river last spring, 
                                  he wrote an article 
                                  about the trip and now he has put some of the 
                                  pictures and video clips into a short 
                                  film.

                                 I finally found 
                                  a Blog format that I can edit easily and maintain. 
                                  So I will be posting daily to keep my friends 
                                  and family up to date with my messing about 
                                  with boats. Here is the link.

                                  proud to be a sponsor of Team RAF and their 
                                  first Everglades Challenge attempt. We are looking 
                                  forward to meeting this fine crew at Fort DeSoto. 
                                  We really like their blog.

                                 I've been rooting 
                                  around my old rolls of film and came across 
                                  some shots of the lumber schooner 
                                  Alvin Clark taken in 1969. Thought you might 
                                  be interested.

                                  builds a lot of boats, or starts them anyway. 
                                  Occasionally he has to do some house cleaning. 
                                  In this case, he made a party out of it and 
                                  did a good job of documenting 
                                  the affair.

                                  know, I will be sailing in the Everglades Challenge 
                                  with Skip Johnson in his p-52 proa. I have decided 
                                  to start a photo 
                                  album to post all the pictures of the boat 
                                  and the event.

                                  These are actual working and fishing boats, 
                                  and probably closely related to the kinds of 
                                  craft our distant ancestors first used to move

                                  to Jim that he should send you something about 
                                  his sailing canoe. I don't know whether he has, 
                                  but if not you might be entertained by this.

                                Here is a blog 
                                  by a bloke who is building my Light Trow. It's 
                                  a very entertaining site.

                                Hi Chuck 
                                Thought you might want to look at this 
                                  link of my latest overnight cruise in my 
                                  Core Sound 17.

                                 I was wandering 
                                  around the web this evening, and stumbled across 
                                  this 
                                  site.  
                                  Nice build, and incredibly, the man talked his 
                                  new wife along for their week-long honeymoon 
                                  on their new 15-foot sailboat on the Mississippi. 
                                Cheers, Brian
