| A full spool of rope from the factory is a pantload of rope so I cut it up like crab fishermen do into shots of 10 and 20 fathoms and the chain into 5 and 10 fm shots a fathom is 6 feet just so you know I was going to sell some of it but I never did I'm kind of into hoarding boat gear it isnt really a problem its useful stuff but it does add up |
150 ft 1/4 proof galv chain made off in 5 & 10 fathom modules
Dinghy 8 ft wooden w/ builtin flotation and stern roller
Oars 6 ft spruce traditional style w bronze oarlocks and chocks and traditional manila fenders

| There's glassed in flotation under that back seat now, and a foam roller where you can get back in the dinghy when you are swimming but this is a pretty good picture of the setup with the spruce oars and the traditonal rope fenders I made from old stuff Ross and Louis gave me off their big old yawl. |

Every one of the things on this list is a separate story and an evolution of tradition and engineering and a personal journey of design and creation. And a project brought to fruition mostly by myself out of books and conversation with all my pals at the marina particularly Fred Vosun a kind of a marine genius type guy that knows his shit about boats and motors. He's always around the docks where I tie up at McCuddys out in Scappoose. It breaks my heart to be leaving that milieu but I got a bad feeling that something particularly shitty is going to happen to me or Felicity Jane if I try to go another season.
I can't take that I got to quit while I am ahead.
