Good Day,

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:(mrsstellaabudheir@gmail.com ) for the full details.

Have a nice day

Thanks God bless.

Stella.

Thanks, Jeff.

I noticed your sailboat when I came on board. It actually prompted me to add some Raspberry pix into my profile.

I like the size and rigging of yours, reminds me of a ketch rigged Nauticat I've been admiring.

We have some repairs to make on the Raspberry. An Oak Tree fell on it while it was trailered in my friends yard. I was amazing it wasn't crushed. Surface damage only, the hull is fine. It snapped the bowsprit, mast, tiller bar, and a bit of the cabin roof. More work though.

I just realized that you have a Herreshoff vessel. Where do you use that? All I know about Herreshoff so far is that his name pops up all the time when I research wooden boats. Did you build it too? How old is it? How about sharing some pictures?

Hello Jeff! Where did you float? After the boat show I heading for the Oregon Coast and spent some time along the seashore. Took my time and got home on Monday night.

I really enjoyed meeting you and sharing the ride with you. You did a nice job on your boat, it looks really good. I hope you had a good trip.

Let me know how everything went after your time at the Eagle rock lodge.

Jeff, the Coeur d; Alene River is currently flooding. It would be a fast ride It is predicted to drop over the next few days. The Clark Fork is up but is not threatening to flood. Anyway, I hope to see you tomorrow and we can talk.

I've not had any problem uploading a photo. There is a small chance that the photo is too large but I'm not sure what the limit is. If you make sure that it is a .jpg around 800x600 or smaller there should be no problem at all.

Hi Jeff,
Your boats are beautiful. I grew up on the coast of Massachusetts so I am accustomed to seeing a variety of lovely Herreshoff designs. Yes, I have sailed in the San Juans a lot, as well as up the coast of British Columbia to the Queen Charlotte Islands, and around Vancouver Island several times. The whole coast is a superb cruising ground. If you plan a cruise, I'd be glad to provide some local knowledge. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Hey - I remember the Cathy Jean from the McKenzie Festival last year. You had a very nice picture book of the construction. Beautiful boat... very nicely done!! I hope I can make it over for the show - would be fun to try some new water and hang out in Wyoming for a little bit.

Welcome Jeffrey,
I hope you can make the show again this year. Sanderson and I are also going to try to make it to A.J.'s show in May. Let's hope so.
