It's not about the sails the boat or the rigging it's about  freedom

I am amazed by the artwork. I never seemed to have the knack to create, but I do  have the ability to appreciate it. Bravo Zulu
I am old-fashioned. I prefer a sail-boat to a motor-boat, and it is my belief that boat-sailing is a finer, more difficult, and sturdier art than running a motor.  Jack London

I am really enjoying the art!  How about some poetry too??  I know some of you must be talented in that arena as well.     ;)
This is a talented bunch of sailors!

In this moment of the setting sun
there is no you, there is no I
there is only we...

Our spirits are as one
as much as any lovers can be.

We face the sunset
warm rays kiss our cheeks
hasten by the breeze...

My breath, the sounds of the waves
blend with each crest we rise.

Though you speak not
I hear your words in my mind
clearly you say my ship...

To sail is divine

Breath of the world
fills my body and sails
slicing through the water
I hear God.

Zen- Awesome.   Another AHHHHH when I read them.
This one especially speaks to my heart.  When I try to explain to friends how sailing makes me feel, I often relate it to feeling Gods blessings and presence in my life.

Sorry Zen
Bravo Zulu is a navy term for very well done.

"Bravo Zulu" comes from the Allied Naval Signal Book (ACP 175 series), an international naval signal code adopted after the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) was created in 1949. Before ACP 175, "well done" was signaled as TVG, or "Tare Victor George" (wikipedia)

And I will extend Bravo Zulu to your poetry. I captures the very feeling that calls me to the sea.

I don't know if this qualifies but I'm a professional violin maker.

Here a link to my home page:

I figure that I can carve a violin or 'cello neck/scroll on a boat. My fantasy is to carve the necks while cruising for a few months then finish the instruments when I return.

WONDERFUL!
Being a musician, I appreciate the work. My first fomal training was on the violin, and that was one my grandfather played also a musican from Saluda Va. ( next to Urbanna )

Looking at the "f" hole I can see a sail. How would it change the sound with a simple curve under the F hole like a boat deck or even say a sailor wanted one two simple engraves under the f hole like a deck and hull. Not all the way through as to effect the sound, but like an engraved accent.

or a sail inlay on the neck...sweet. ok, I get carried away   :-X

Zen,
Is that the boat house at Urbanna Virginia? Looks like it. I'm docked just to the right of that location about 100 yards up creek. Great picture.

Thanks, That it is Larry.
I took that on my last visit to the home place. I spent a lot of time in the area as a child. Before I got the call to go west...
