Gavin Atkin's weblog for the sort of people who like looking inside boat sheds. It's about old boats, traditional boats, boat building, restoration, the sea and the North Kent Coast
Traditions and culture relevant to the world of real boating and sailors
Regular Intheboatshed.net reader Terry Burton is a well known illustrator and cartoonist – I remember seeing his name in some of my kids’ books, and if you Google for his name you’ll find many references to his work. Anyway, he has kindly elected to work up some cartoons for us. Many, many thanks for your support Terry!
