Ah but ye wuz so gude a' hit! I had to let my MAIB scrip laspe 'cause things
are "tight" around here right now. Do i want that sheet of 3/8th or another
year of MAIB. It's that tight. That's why i am grateful for "newsletters" and
groups like this and Bolgerlist. Also Chebacco News and Jim Michalalk's
letter. I live in Palm Bay-Melbourne, Florida now moving from Indianapolis in
February.. This is Plastic boat heaven. We got Sea-Ray on one end of the
county and Boston-Whaler on the other with Sea-Doo around somewhere too. The
Replica of Columbus's Pinta did come through but i missed it due to working
weekends at the time....sigh...There is one real boat in the Marina, A
Selway-Potter brought over from "the auld sod". Rest except for that Burgher
are grand banks dories with "snowgeese" in them or floating bathtub
sailboats....SO POST PICTURES OF REAL BOATS to the vault please. (Please?) I
am having a "jones" for a wooden boat.

Buying Plywood & framing lumber for "Pointy Skiff" Saturday. I get her built
and Wifey will let me build something bigger. Maybe another Hms.Rose (just
kidding).
