In this collage of photos I sit at my drafting table and ponder the plan that will next become an inch-to-a-foot scale model used to loft the lines for the 46-foot finished vessel.
The next photo is our wedding photo, then our sailing dinghy, and our dreamboat Dursmirg fully rigged and under way.

Bottom photos: Our home designed and built multipurpose dinghy and Dursmirg, our floating home under sail.

paperback and digital editions worldwide.
Many a
dreamboat has been scuttled by procrastination.
