Just got a text with this fine painting from Mabu’s skipper, Harris. He and his Caledonia were anchored just to windward of UNA that colorful evening on Yarmouth Creek two weeks ago. Seems like ages now. I can hear the slap of the water, cries of the geese …
Somehow the cold is gone.
Thanks Harris!

Thanks for sharing this Eddie! This is very cool, love it. I read somewhere long ago that sailors are also painters many times. I dont know how that can be true. Perhaps nature’s beauty is simply that inspiring…

’d say some are Greg. Think I’ve side stepped the talent.
How’s the cat coming along? April is coming!
Hello Eddie, I just re-watched the Jane’s Is. vid. Nice! Do most people car camp for this event? I have to prepare both my boat and car/tent camping. By the way, I’m now getting ready for the galley box and like your feet, cleat, boat color matching and removable shelf. Permission to pirate ideas? (Pirates don’t ask for permission…)
Pirate away. I started with Roger Barnes box.
Janes is usually tent camping. Keep at it!
Nicely painted, Harris. Keep working at it and you may have a new career.
A little at a time, long way to go, been 45 years since I’ve picked up the brushes, Merry Christmas!
