This is what my mate Louis does for a living, 

32' Cornish Pilot Gig

This is his latest commission that is bound for Ireland.  He did tell me what it is but in one ear out the other.  A work of art just the same.

I think you'll find that all traditional boatbuilders are clever, massively talented, inately well bred and hugely good looking...

Looks like a wooden currach but they weren't often double ended or as beamy as that. Trad boats have so many very local variants.

Clever and massively talented I would agree with, as to the other stuff you never met my father in law.  πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£ or my Dad for that matter, angry impatient little fucker at the best of times πŸ€£πŸ€£πŸ€£

My mate Louis, who built the boats in the pictures , is a genius with wood or with an oar in his hand, pretty much as human as the rest of us anywhere else.  πŸ™‚   I could tell some tails but so could he so I will keep quiet.  πŸ˜‰
 

Here is the sign that was on my Father In Laws shed.   My Mrs rescued it and it’s been on our wall for 20 years.

Finished my Daughter’s room for her.   Hope she likes it.   She did chose the colour.     Ready for her to dive in her pit in a few minutes after a week away at College   87A31DCF-C5A6-470A-A039-519FEF4F686F.thumb.jpeg.4249381b55eeea96aea7802edd0022de.jpeg

She wanted those blue LEDs instead, I know its a bit dark but the stage is set for her, she loves it like that.  I think she would like to be a Goth but that doesn't chine with her horse obsession.

Thankfully my youngest manages a stables and funds her own equestrianism.

It’s subliminal messaging and you believe it because you are gay.
