We say this after receiving an email [...]  Posted on April 4th,2011We are feelin’South Pacific here at Chine bLog. We have some sweet new tunes from Papua playing (Akave by George Telek) and just had the pleasure of discovering an amazing boatbuilder and artist. We found Tevita Kunato via our friend Gary Dierking over at Outrigger Sailing Canoes. Tevita Kunato is the business name for [...] Posted on February 23rd,2011It has been far too long (we do I always find myself starting this way?

I had noticed one of his newer books,In Search of Moby Dick:The Quest for the White Whale,in the library and had passed on it,thinking it less interesting. I was wrong. Severin aims to track down the [...] Posted on January 22nd,2010I have so engaged in designing and building that I haven’t been on the computer as much in the PMs. I have clearly been missing out on what some of our traditional boat peeps have been putting up.

Thanks muchly,Gavin,for introducing us to Bob Holtzman and his new (I take it) blog “Indigenous Boats –Small Craft Outside the Western Tradition.”All of a sudden we find our selves with lots of company here,but heck,if it helps [...] Posted on December 13th,2007One of my favorite web sites is that for the African Wildlife Foundation (full disclosure:it was designed and build by my company,Forum One Communications).
