My pal Mike Goodwin is a sailor, a boatbuilder and an artist. He’s also one of the most thoroughly salty people I know: he grew up in a family in which many members made their living at sea and much of his life has focused on it, and early on in life he actually knew and worked with the great Howard Irving Chappelle.
I was touched when he wanted to share the Virginia video above with intheboatshed.net, as she’s a splendid sight and I know he’s rightly proud to have taken part in the building of her. Click on the image above to play the short video.
Modest celebrities Bill Serjeant and Nigel Davidson pass by on their way to the West

Bill Serjeant is currently sailing his remarkable little heavyweight 14-ft Paradox cruiser Faith from its home port at Burnham on Crouch along the South Coast down to the West Country, where he intends to meet and sail in company with another Paradox sailor Al Law.
As Bill’s weblog records, along the way he anchored for a time in our sailing ground, the Swale, before sailing out along the North Kent Coast. However, over the last couple of days he’s been waiting out some bad weather in Ramsgate Harbour, where he met Nigel Davidson, who is currently circumnavigating the UK in his pretty 24ft Hillyard-built yacht Patsy Rye. For an earlier post about Nigel and his journey, click here. Huge good luck to both of them!
