Marilyn singing "Happy Birthday Mr; President".........well, I guess your 
right, actualy!!  :) :) :)  In the Galinas video when Jean de Sud is twirling 
in a bridle in the Channel Islands after repairs, you get some nice views of 
the bottom, and her, to continue the metaphor, sensuous lines.  Fin keelers 
just don't understand.  Carl did.
Have you seen this new Maritime magazine on the newstands? Pricy, yes, but 
look at the article on Stormy Weather and Dorade, two of my all time favorite 
designs.  Full lines drawings of them both, and they are beautiful.  Not 
Marilyn, but Raphael or Titian models. But at 52 or 53 feet, more boat than I 
need.  And who is going to caulk all those seams?  And we're not talking 
simply keeping the pressure constant on a BoatLife gun, but lapping in the 
strands of cotton, then hitting that little chisel  with that funny looking 
hammer.  I've seen it done, and know enough to know I don't know how to do it 
right!!!

John/George, got it. I have about a week left in the boatyard before the 
Oregon coast weather gets foul and I bring her back to Astoria. I want to get 
all the preventive maintance done I can. As to the 'turkey' aspect not a day 
passes without an admiring inquiry from a star-truck passerby, including some 
hardcrusted commerical fishermen, some of whom don't have much patience for 
'toys'. Her stern aspect (up on blocks) does have some wonderfully senuous, 
curvilinear archtypical memory about her (like Marilyn singing Happy 
Birthday, Mr. President....) Thanks
