I have www.sailinganarchy.com on my favorites. Though much of the site deals with sailing which is different from what I do, every now and again they catch my fancy. Today, they published a video clip on a reproduction of a 1950 Sydney 18. Worth a look.

This is an inflatable that looks and seems to be well designed and seems to function well?

This is working out better than I had ever imagined. I am trying to teach my daughter how to build boats by including her on a Bolger Bobcat build, but now my 6-year-old son wants in on the action. I had to oblige. It's only fair that I need to start a class for him too, right? :) I so hope this continues. I want them to tell their kids about their memories of building boats with Dad. Here are the details.

We have a new arrival from Lodestar (UK) publisher Dick Wynne: Sea-Boats, Oars, and Sails, which is a reprint of the 1941 Conor O'Brien book.

In case you missed-out, we now have a fresh supply of Utili-Keys, which sold out in early December. Small, inexpensive, and if you ever have to slice-open a package or turn a small screw, nothing is handier.

What does a sailmaker do in the middle of winter? If you're Todd Bradshaw (author of the fabulous Canoe Rig book), you create a life-sized Big Foot. And yes, he's posted it on our WoodenBoat Forum.

And finally, through the magic of the internet, you too can listen to Maine Public Radio. And if you tune-in to the "Maine Calling" show from noon to 1:00 on Thursday the 16th, you can hear author Peter Korn. He wrote the interesting book Why We Make Things and Why It Matters. Yes, we have copies in stock, but don't dilly-dally. Per publisher extraordinaire David Godine, this new book is doing so well, they're already gearing-up to go back on press.

I'm helping to mentor a senior at Souhegan HS who is building a boat for his senior project. You can check out his build journal by going to his site. He is very excited and working hard. He loves the idea of folks seeing his work. If you'd like to send him a few positive words/remarks, I'll be happy to forward them.

An archaeologist from the Australian National University has uncovered the world's oldest evidence of deep sea fishing for big fish, showing that 42,000 years ago regional ancestors had mastered one of Australia's favourite pastimes.

Now THIS is some pretty cool wooden sailboat footage. Who knew “barges” could fly?

I have a blog, Log of Ibi. If you find it of interest, please sign on to follow it. I do as much as I can on paddle/camping. We were sailors all our married lives, but had to switch to canoeing when we moved to Oklahoma. If you look at my blog and go back in archives to 2010 and 11, you'll find two month-long cruises on Chesapeake Bay I think you'd like.
