[Rhodes22-list] Boat nostalgia

[Kroposki]

Mark,
	You should be embarrassed showing a good boat in that condition.
Why don't you clean it up, restore it and donate it to the sea
scouts.... :-)
Poor thing probably needs a bottom job.

I was recently going through some photos from a trip we took up to the
old
family place on the Maine coast a couple of years ago and came across
the
attached.

My dad had this 10' rowing skiff made for me by an old Harpswell boat
builder named Henry Barnes - the same winter he also had skiffs built
for
himself and my older brother, a year or so after Henry built my uncle's
36'
lobster boat. I believe it was given to me on my 7th birthday, and I
eventually passed it on to my younger brother when I inherited my older
brother's 14' skiff at 12 or so.

Looks pretty sad now, but, man did I ever have a load of fun in that
thing.
Even took it out to the islands a couple times with my old 3hp Johnson
motor. I spent almost every day of every summer for 5 years in that
little
boat.
