the sea

quote from Cup Of Gold - J.Stienbeck

a sailor attempting to describe the call of the sea to his mom...

"But don’t you see that I must go, for it seems that I am cut in half and only


one part of me here. The other piece is over the sea, calling and calling me to


come and be whole."

35mm Pentax photos and somet thoughts from Steinbeck

"'It has always seemed strange to me, said Doc, 'the things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding, and feeling are concomitants of of future in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitness, meaness, egotism, and self-interest are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.'" pg143 Cannery Row

Sheila in the Shipyard

This are pictures from the ship I am working. We are in Jurong Shipyard in Singapore. She was built in 1980 in Japan, as a 30 year old ship, she needs a lot of work.

Boat project through and through

There is nothing,
absolutely nothing,
half so much worth doing
as simply messing around in boats.
