Here is a video I had a friend take at a gig recently, this is my other love, playing guitar :)

This is a far cry from boats n things, but as mentioned in my book, guitars have been an integral part of my life, and this is where I'm at with that!

                                                   HOME MADE CABIN HEAT/DEHUMIDIFIER



In this cold, wet winter, I learnt a tip from the Kiwis a long time ago when I visited the Bay of Island, take a clay flower pot, (ya, you might have to put ashore for that one; I know I had to)!, and turn it upside down on your (propane) stove, light it, and keep it on the LOWEST setting possible, without any danger of it going out!!   Soon the heat from the clay will radiate out through the cabin, and warm up and dry out the damp. It helps to close the hatches and ports enough to where you are still able to breathe!!! :)

Home made fittings for your boat

Don't ever be afraid to make something for your boat. I made some home made sheet blocks for my boat (Deja vu) over thirty years ago with teak cheeks, tuffnol castors and stainless steel beckets and copper rivets, and they are still going strong today.
