The partnership between David Lindley and Jackson Browne was long-lived and epic. IMHO, any appreciation of it has to include Lindley's falsetto vocals on "Stay" A very sad day indeed, what a tremendous loss.

?? A friend who bought it from Crosby has lovingly, and respectfully, brought it back to top form including several successful campaigns. (in addition to serving as a great boat for family and friends)

"Notoriously difficult"... but still had the inclination to work (at least momentarily) with such a wide variety of other talents

I lived aboard my Soverel 33 (6'3" headroom) for 10 years (the first version by the father, Bill Soverel, not the second racing sled by the son, Mark Soverel) but many larger Soverels also were centerboard boats designed for cruising places like the Chesapeake, the Keys, the Bahamas, etc. With a...

Bono? I'll just leave this here (from a NYT review of Kushner's book): "His wooing of Ivanka Trump included a good deal of jet-setting. Kushner briefly broke up with her, he writes, because she wasn’t Jewish. (She would later convert.) Wendi Murdoch, Rupert’s wife, reunited them on Rupert’s...

Just your average song written by your average 16 year old....

Charlie Pierce wrote a nice piece in remembrance in his column for Esquire. Much is devoted to Russell's off-court life but on the subject of his on-court greatness, he wrote: "For me, the most amazing statistic of Russell’s astonishing career in basketball is that his teams played in 10...

Hard chine, stitch and glue dinghy, in need of a boarding ladder (to retrieve the crew who have demanded a stop for a swim). I made a rope ladder with 4" deep by 14" wide treads, but the crew report that it just swings in under the chine under load and is very difficult to use... Trying to use...

4) Petit EasyPoxy WITH the additive they offer (can't remember the name of the additive at the moment...).You can do custom colors (at least at the hardware store where I buy it...). The additive increases gloss and hardness and you can easily get 3 years out of it (true, Perfection is going...

Zonker let me know about this thread-- I posted the following over on Cruising Anarchy: James Wharram has passed. Hanneke Boon has written a lovely obituary, here...

Thanks, hadn't seen that.

James Wharram has passed. Hanneke Boon has written a lovely obituary, here: https://www.wharram.com/news/2021/a-living-legend-lives-no-more?fbclid=IwAR2FB04XhUnaRKFVHYWutmeyCyz-wnjaYhF3zwZ4k4W3GQeEzj8VBQ_7ilM Several years ago, I spent about two months living just up the road from Wharram's...

Thanks. And thanks to Max for posting that gem in its entirety.

I'm outside the US at the moment and I get rerouted to an EU version of the Fayettevill Observer that doesn't include the obits.... Would you mind pasting in the entire literary masterpiece? Thanks in advance.

Yep, Vivier draws some beautiful boats (Jewel comes to mind when speaking of pocket cruising). I have the plans for this one (Kernic), although it will be the beach boat and the Welsford Sweet Pea will be for cruising. If I ever get around to building it...

Wtf? A thread about "pocket cruising" and you people are discussing, among other things, a 32' vessel? THIS is pocket cruising (I know, cause it says so right in the name  :rolleyes: )...

Interlux Perfection, Lauderdale Blue, rolled and tipped by me and a buddy. Eventually, I gave him the boat (1970 Pearson 24). The paint job is now about 10 years old and still going strong. Yeah, left the boat in a bit late the year this photo was taken...

Nah. Just a slow Friday night here... Btw, your " thread drift, as if you'd notice" line in another thread almost made beer come out my nose... 

Road, rode, potayto, potawto... I guess they don't teach spelling in law school eh?
