It's actually the 175th anniversary of the foundation
of Adelaide. Here is a radio interview
with Peter Christopher from the group Save the City of Adelaide.

Here's one from Larry
Page that should interest you all. Hard to imagine
this speed and knowing you could explode at any time.

Here
is a link to the Mid Atlantic Small Craft Festival
in St. Michael's, MD, of photos taken by Barry Long, a guy who
is part way through building TWO cedar strip Melonseeds. He is
a professional photographer and does nice work, both on boats
and pictures. The 9 minute video of the race shot from a small
boat is particularly a treat. I spy some sailing canoes, Melonseeds,
and even a Pathfinder there, I think.

A link to the NIS
forum. It has a lot of photos and information about
the Norwalk Islands Sharpie (NIS).
Another Sharpie builder - based in Adelaide - Paul
Atkins - has started a blog on the construction of
his 26 footer.

John
Almberg's boat blog is updated quite often and may
be of interest to Duckworks readers.

For those interested to know the planking on my
navigator
is completed and has been out of shop for the first time. Out
of the rather cramped space of the shop I could for the first
time appreciate the lovely curves of the boat. Thanks John she
looks great. This was also the chance to lower the build stand
for the next stages. The pictures are there to be enjoyed. Mind
you if you go to the pages. There is word of the intended electric
drive and some adoptions made to incorporate this.

This is Al Myer's Penobscot
14 named "Wee Lass". It is a "piece
of "furniture" boat that gets sailed more that any boat
that I know of. The video and photos were put together by Tommy
Jensen, Esquire. All of Texas and Louisiana have admired the way
this boat looks and sails. I once saw it sailing on Offatts Bayou
in Galveston Island on my way to a soccer tournament. I have seen
it sail on two bays and five lakes.... so far. The video is from
Lake Somerville and Offatts Bayou and the pictures are from Matagorda
Bay, Texas.

video of my Periwinkle
design. Video shot by Rick Sutton from his Navigator,
edited by Paul Hernes, and boat sailed by owner, John Shrapnel.

Chuck, Thank you for posting a link to my website
about the Caledonia Yawl (Crazybird) and The Voyage of The Aegre.

This is a most amusing
video (quite long) about some sailing vagabond hippy
types who buy an old boat and go sailing. Very well done and well
worth sharing...

I had a good time on the water on the last day of
October - hard to believe the year really is on the turn. No wind,
so a wonderful row, and some good pix of the sun going down over
the Edinburgh
skyline. I think this is one of the benefits of a Walkabout
- in the winter good days are often windless, or rather if it's
windy enough to sail, it's too cold to want to get wet! So a boat
that rows well means you can enjoy those still calm days. We often
seem to have beautiful, crisp, calm days around New Year. I'm look
forward to launching over the frosted beach if conditions allow.
And what's more, rowing keeps you warm! Osbert |

Dean
Herring who is building the Mikesboat has had good
results with your epoxy
so I am giving it a try.
Mark Gumprecht has sent me a set of pictures of the construction
of his new
trimarans.

This is from the wooden
boats in Australia. It seems to be full of information
for the boat person.

I've put a few of Jim Posts sailing pics for the
Goose up. The gently planing one is fun.
