[Rhodes22-list] List quiet.

[elle]

David,
I went to Stockholm last year for a brief visit...we took a boat tour as the area is an archipelago....wooden boats were the rule there...and all over! They must have a short season...but have at it when the weather permits.
I don't have the pix on this computer..when I switch over later I'll post a few again.

Elle, that sounds really neat.  I know the Morgan has a wooden frame
and I think a wooden underbody.  Must be fun to ride around in those
cars.

Seattle has a great wooden boat thing going on.  Dozens of them, 50-70
feet, all beautifully restored, floating in covered slips on Lake
Union.  All that Microsoft money going to good use.  It's really nice
to see them in the boat parade on opening day of boating season
(Windermere Cup regatta day), and in the Christmas parades.

Dave

Two are still in the area....You can tell them from a mile off in the water.....(Another guy has let his deteriorate again...)
