They Don't Sail

That's one sad looking boat with one hell of an ugly doghouse.
Yea I got rid of the Bimini and designed a removeable wheelhose. I
found over time no matter how well a bimini is made they all leak
Still sadder is
the pic which is VERY old and may even be a still from super or 16mm footage.
Its was made to look that way, RedClouds lines are classic and fit in
well with the age of the clipper hulls. It is still one of my favorate
pictures. Often I still use my ol cannon Ftb with B&W film.
Note what appear to be projector scratches left and center. No way those were
made by a feed scanner.
Must of been dust on the lens.
I'm sure that if the boat pictured is still floating, it's been upgraded and
perhaps those big dangerous windows were changed as well.
Not dangerious at all considering the ones that I replaced were made
of glass (not safety glass) and rode across the Atlantic 3 times
without a problem. Now they are 1/4 inch lexan. Nice airy feeling
inside even with the dark phillipino mahogany bulkheads, doors and
cabnet work. Nice views all the time, no peeking out of little port
holes. And the dark smoke lexan helps the AC's keep the inside at 65
degrees cool even when its over a 100 degrees outside.
Do tell us about your boat, joe!!! Surley you have pictures from this decade!?
You should have the ones I snapped today, please overlook the messy
dock, it's been a busy week Ill get to all the gear adrift later.
Sorry you can not see the Magna grill on the back cabin. But if you
look carefully in one of the pictures you can see the full size weber
grillmaster on the dock next to the swimming pool under the 10X20 foot
Picnic tent. That reminds me I need to turn the ribeyes they have been
marinating all day and I want to grill them with the fresh shrimp we
caught last weekend while sailing.
Aint life grand
