So I was tickled by this post about boat-naming from the way Londoners do it from Messing about in Boats.

I want to sail a proa on a warm sea…
[ad name=”intheboatshed-post”]
Here I sit in chilly, laid-up England, and for a few minutes I watch YouTube clips like this of Gary Dierking sailing a proa in the warm, far-off antipodes. Would some kind soul please send me there right now? I could write a very nice review, or whatever might be required to persuade someone to pay my fare!
Of course, Amazon has Gary Dierking’s latest book on sale.
In the meantime, don’t forget to buy my book for your favourite budding boatbuilder. Now there are no Wiis left to buy anywhere in the country, my little book must be in with a chance to be the present of the year. Have I mention that four purchasers over at the www.amazon.com site have given it five-star reviews? No? Well I have now!
