Greetings!
This is the home stretch for preparing the boat for the season. I have been putting coats of varnish on the woodwork, and am hoping to have the hull waxed in the next week or so...
The boat goes in next week!
I just called Kirby Paint to make up a batch of Oregon Buff for the boot top. The last quart lasted me @ ten years. Thank god Kirby is still at it! Another new discovery is Woody Wax, good lord that stuff makes a 20 year old hull look great!
And so the season begins!
Welcome to my website. I first started this site in 1995, to display photos I
had taken of Christmas celebrations in the New England area. Today I
feature photographs and stories from my travels around the world and have
continued to build a section devoted to Christmas celebrations. I also include a
gallery of my original pen & ink illustrated Christmas Cards. Limited
editions of these cards have been printed each year since 1988. One of the great
joys of my personal Christmas Season is the sending of these cards to my many
friends.
I am also a sailor, and am fortunate to have as my cruising grounds some of the most beautiful in the world, Buzzard's Bay and Vineyard Sound. I have a lifetime of photos and stories on the variety of places I have sailed in my Cape Dory 26, Yuletide. Currently she resides on Lake Tashmoo, Martha's Vineyard.
I have a background in the fine arts, and work in the area of high tech marketing. Over the years I have enjoyed having this website as an online gallery for my artwork and photography.
Thanks for taking the time to view my site, I hope you enjoy.
Best wishes and fair winds for the summer of 2008!

each new morning with its light, For rest and shelter of the night,
