Shaving

Pappa does a shaving thing because too many people told him how hard and slow it is to shave... this video shows that it only takes a few seconds...

In the dark

Playing with lights and a long exposure

Ben and Pappa had a good time last night playing with a tiny flashlight and long exposures in the dar cellar. Pappa did the shutter release and Ben did all the light work - he did a pretty good job writing his name backwards. The red streak is the light coming through his thumb as he had put his thumb over the flashlight.  It was a tiny one bulb LED light. He waved it around to expose his face.

Contest Is Over!

And We had a winner!!! We decided to have a drawing because we couldn't decide as we liked all of the photos that were submitted.

Ben just delivered to Paul a new East Providence Cycle water bottle with a gift certificate inside! All the runner-ups are invited to a cruise this summer aboard Tapestry!

More Skiff Progress

Finished Varnishing

This Friday night we finished varnishing the skiff, mast rudder tiller and boom, now we can start painting and rigging. One more coat. . . . just didn't hurt.

Progress on the skiff

Ben is applying the final coat of varnish to the skiff. We should be done painting and start our rigging Friday night.  Hopefully we will have some good photos and video to share before the weekend. This isn't the best shot as I took it with my iPhone...
