Strait of Juan de Fuca - Jamie Orr
Hi Richard
I was about to email you to see when your
deadline was, and bingo! Found a brand new Chebacco page on the web.
Good to see activity from other builders. Sorry to hear about your job
problems, but I'm sure a new opportunity will appear soon, I can't see you
sitting still for long.
Always nice to see a picture of Wayward
Lass front and centre, but I wonder if you could make a small fix. Chris
probably didn't know, and I missed it, but we should have given John Kohnen
photo credit for the picture of WL arriving in Port Townsend. John is the
man behind the "Mother of All Maritime Links", and provides pictures for many of
us at local events. He lets us use his pictures freely, so it's only right
to recognize him when we go public. Can you add something like "photo by
John Kohnen" to the page?
Come to think of it, John would make the
subject for a good small boat article -- have to give that more thought.
Meanwhile, going back to my opening remark, I have a write-up of sailing in
Sylvester, Bill Samson's old Chebacco, on the Thames River at the end of
January. I dawdled in writing it, and I've missed this issue, but I'll
send it along shortly -- might as well polish it a bit more, now.
And
just for the hell of it, here's the latest picture of Wayward Lass, taken in the
Strait of Juan de Fuca looking south to the Olympic mountains in Washington
State. Don't expect you to publish this one, I'm just showing off our
local scenery. Got it from a stranger who was photographing a kite-surfing
event -- saw him pointing his camera our way so when I saw him later at the ramp
I asked if he had any good ones of WL. He emailed several, I like this one
the best.
Cheers, and I'll get that article in
soon.
Jamie
