After I built my tenth boat I kept telling myself, I would never build another &*$%^$^$ boat,
Here I am! on my 32nd boat later. its a virus once its bittin you youll have it for life. some can build an imunity to it like moving into the heart of arizona or death valley but most who have the virus can only fall prey to the desire to build another boat.
The adventure of building a Boat and then the adventure of Taking it out are are from the same bird of paradise just diffrent feathers. The true grandeur of a finly crafted piece of wood to that sensation of Reaching on a brisk summer breeze sends shivers of a seagoing passion through ones soul only to matched by the purest of love. I beleve that boat builders have a genetic soul and that wether it be a 6 foot punt or 100 foot yacht, there is no sensation in the world like the one in your soul that reaches that level of self apprechiation and satisfaction and sense of accomplisment when her hull touches the water for the very first time. yes my freinds Big or small punt or yawl she is beautiful!
