A place were I can write...

My simple blog of pictures of travel, friends, activities and the Universe we live in as we go slowly around the Sun.

??? Will it float???

So here are a couple of pictures my brother took of a "boat" that is being built in a Marin County lot near San Rafael. A father/son team has been working on it for at least a year and a half. What do you think? Well, it may look OK, but a few things to mention, the hull is not fiberglass, it is plywood painted. Yes just painted. A ketch rig with a radar mast off to one side. I wonder how they will fly a spinnaker with that sticking up? No glass on the main salon deck? Also there are outboard motor mounts on the back.... If they plan to just sit in a dock and never sail it, it may last a year or so. But I think if they try to sail it it will split and sink... We will see....
