 Posted on February 25th,2013It happens all too rarely,but I was able to cash in a Christmas gift an spend another great day with Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum‘s Apprentice for a Day program. The current boat is an enhanced reproduction (a reproduction with some more modern updates incorporated) of GHOST,a deadrise bateau from about 1920. She is [...]  Posted on November 17th,2011I had a couple management meetings this week that provided for doodling space. I have been thinking about a larger skin-on-frame craft ad that led me to umiaks. The name then came to me and so a boat needed to come of it:an umiak-construction hull with lines and rig evoking that classiest of [...] Posted on March 8th,2009Call it a two-fer. I have been doing the Apprentice for a Day program at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. I thought my Dad would enjoy it as well,I gave him a day of it for Christmas. Of course I had to join him.

I got in two visits and availed myself of a row and a sail. Both were great. It had been a long time –a frighteningly [...] Posted on May 19th,2008And so,like all good things,another set of sessions with Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Apprentice for a Day program has ended. And what a way to go –sailing a Delaware Ducker,the sister of the one on which I have been working. We got two little sails in,with some fine tuning of [...] Posted on May 3rd,2008I read an article last night that prompted me to reflect on how I rate the value of a magazine article.

First of all,the Delaware Ducker has a full combing,the beginnings of a paint-job,and a cleaned up false-stem. She is looking lovely. For work,I got to finish my [...] Posted on April 6th,2008For Christmas this year,Mrs. Chine bLog again gave me a four-pack of days apprenticing with Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum’s Apprentice for a Day program.
