Hello Boaters,
Am trying to get plans of Bolgers Wyoming and accompanying manual. Faxed Phil Bolger and Friends a few weeks ago and again a few days ago. No response.
Any ideas on how to get a response? Are they, in fact, responding? What type of payment should be sent if hoping for plans?

Phil did not always get to all letters, and advised me that serious folks will remind him of their continuing interest.

Well, Ed, a few seasons later, things are not fully balanced out but close enough to discuss plans.
Plans for Design # 496 BIRDWATCHER in a combined package of both versions are $200.-
All quotes in US$, to build one boat, plus postage to Australia of about $15 per plans-tube.
International Money-Order or a Bank-Draft made out to Phil Bolger & Friends Inc. will work.

Hi Suzanne
First of all. I read the post you sent after Phil had passed away.. It was the first time I had heard that Phil had died. I cried for two days on and off.. It was so sad. He was a giant intellect and a good man. I am so sorry for your loss.
I am so glad I can contact you via email! (I saw your post on Bolger Yahoo.....)
I am VERY eager to get the Sneakeasy II and Bee plans. I am in Australia near Melbourne. International payments are problematic.. Is there any other way I can pay you? Paypal perhaps? I will off course pay all paypal fees, if you can do it that way.
By the way, have you talked further to Duckworks about them selling your plans? That would be so perfect... Or Instant boats... I mean, you know what I mean...
Kind Regards
Ed

Ed, if you can find find a live specimen of the boat you like Y not take a bunch of measurements and photos and build something close enough to please you but slightly different so you can safely say it's your design. I think 20% different is legal. In fact I build everything my way anyway. I simply can't follow plans. As a boy walking railroad tracks got boring. Blessings, Chief

Except here, there is no quick fix/pill/shot to overcome the uglies related to FB.
If I can help it, I will not bathe in that ‘marinade’.
You may be perfectly comfy in it.
Question of course is why ??
The costs to you and yours are crushing...but as long as you’re comfy perhaps then...
About your much broader scope on ‘antichrist’ visions, no comment.
This office however is hard- and software-wise reasonably up-to-date in 2016, just without FACEBOOK... plus without a few other ‘no-go-zones’ and ‘will-not-indulge-in’ temptations...
Looking at my (possibly limited) e-mail tree from yousince well before Phil’s death, you enquired starting in early Sept. of 2014 about 3 designs, got answers about two, with me not knowing why I did not respond to the third, but also seeing no follow-up by you to nudge me about the third.
You may have sent letters... And, again, my e-mail files may be incomplete.
Finally, and forgive my chuckling here, Phil would have little patience with your approach here and personal online-preferences in general.
Remember that he carried the Libertarian Party Membership Card with a very low number on it.
Ergo, no submissiveness on his part to any voluntary level of intrusiveness like FB - which makes good ol’ J.Edgar Hoover look like a 3.5 (out of 5) –Star Civil Libertarian.
Of course, your political-cultural reference points may well be at distinct variance with such sensitivities.
At any rate, no PB&F with PB&F on FB.
And don’t forget that our stuff is ours...

What’s next ?
- Your Medical Records on a billboard/online ?
- Your personal Schedule past/present/future because you can ‘sync’ your ‘devoices’, all superbly protected by a $29.99.- ‘fire-wall’ ??
I just won’t be enabling any of this by endorsing it.
There are responsibilities that go way beyond casual and ultimately very expensive and unmanageable ‘conveniences’...
For starters, the ethics of this are beyond intolerable...
So, Ed, I recently visited with a guy who had and continues to build boats.
Good get-together.
Productive couple actually.
We swapped notes on building stuff that floats.

The ethics of contributing voluntarily to this seem too dark to accept.
As far as possible not purposefully dragging family and friends into this seems indicated.
Yes there are other forms of ‘tracking’ and ‘accumulating’, but few as far-reaching as this scheme.
I have tried a few times to peek over the fence about what some folks appear to be so excited about over in FACEBOOK-World.
Meanwhile MAIB-column # 506 is in the works.
Between work since 2002 and e.g. the recent presentation at a national conference, our work towards much ‘greener types’ in the Commercial Fisheries has for the first time been elevated to Fisheries Management Council level of discussion.
Mil-Spec stuff appears to continue as well with yet another meeting with active-duty folks.
Etc. Etc.

Oh well...in that case you’ll be all set then.
By all means do FACEBOOK...
Except that you should actually listen to this NPR piece, or read up on the flip-side of the matter.
How many times have I heard about all sorts of ‘great’ offerings that ‘they all do this these days’... or something like that.
