Wonderful! Thanks for sharing, Mike.

Really must be awful having to bob around on one of these old winkle-barges for a couple of weeks.

Two things stand out as anachronisms, in the second shot the seat coverings scream 1950s yet the rest looks to be from an earlier period and in the bridge shot, the plastic computer screen sits where the sextant case once resided.

But hey.......... lovely ship, lovely place and good photos; I'm seriously jealous.

Mike -

Delightful. Thank you for showing us more of her.

Martin, Pete & Stuart- Thank you. Pete- yes it was absolutely dreadful being pampered and spoilt on this rusty old bucket of bolts.

Mike is she around 90 to 100 feet in length? Love the fireplace. I have an old (1963) coal/wood burning furnace in my wooden ketch.

Ben- You're spot on she's 103 ft long. Do you ever use the fireplace on your ketch?

Yes, in winter. Keeps me warm & the boat dry. The trick is getting very dry wood and soaking it in some Cinnamon, apple juice & water. Makes the boat smell like heaven. It also lets me work inside without an electric heater. I hate those things.

michali · 07/19/08, 08:26 AM

Ben- I can already smell your furnace, great aroma!
Do you have pictures of your ketch I'd love to see some.

When I saw the fireplace on Mike's friend's boat, and read of Ben's stove it reminded me of one cold, late spring day in Alaska when a local character (a veterinarian) took us aboard the Death Barge, III, and warned us not to touch or dangle any sleves near the fiercely glowing heating element in his 20 foot launch, protected from the wind on three sides by clear plastic.
