Sue and Jim Shilling requested and
received permission from the artist to reproduce a
watercolor for use on their new boat, Arcadia,
Here are the results. Click on the photo to see it

And
here's how it looked at anchor in Worton Creek.

Finally,
let me try not to get into too much trouble here. It
was unusual to hear construction sounds at our marina last
weekend. It was even more unusual to see these two
hard at work, building a deck enhancement. You may
receive many emails offering a bigger deck - these guys
actually went out and made their's bigger. There is
some dispute about who has the bigger deck and some
potential contests to make this determination.

The
handsome young man on the left is Ron Cohen, of Watercolors.
Ron may know something about building as his company, The
Iron Shop, builds spiral staircases and stuff. The
young man on the right is Paul Meyer, of MacBelieve.
Paul is a radiologist and assures me that the new,
enhanced deck is structurally sound. I should
mention that he squished the deck flat between two glass
plates to make this determination.
On a slightly more
serious note, Paul's t-shirt advertises the Susan Komen
Run for the Cure. Paul's wife is a breast cancer
survivor and I salute their efforts to end this terrible
disease.
