Tuesday March 12th Boattalk streams live at www.weru.org at 10am EDT starting with a conversation with Phineas Sprague about the Maine Boatbuilder’s Show, which happens on March 15-17.

Â Say hello to Boattalk buddy Havilah Hawkens while your there and ask him about the waterspout picture. Â We will also be talking with Greg Roscoe of Seaworthy Productions about a video about Raw Faith that will be coming out soon. Â And, as usual, it is a call-in show and you never know what might surface. Â a.s.

Boattalk, Tuesday Feb. 12 10am Eastern, will have David Moses Bridges, a Passamaquoddy canoe builder. He will be talking about his craft(s) and will be available to talk with listeners also, since Boattalk is a call-in show. You could say it will be a hearing on sound bark canoes…your dogs may want to join in also. Listen live to the stream at www.weru.org or on air at 89.9fm Blue Hill and 99.9fm Bangor. David is a very fine craftsman as you can see by the pictures below. If you would like to see his work first-hand, the Abbe Museum in Bar Harbor has one of his boats. a.s.
We will probably be talking with Jeff Gold again as he is helping with the restoration of the Whaleship Charles W. Morgan. He says they still have ten strakes to go. a.s.
Tuesday Nov. 13, 10am eastern, Boattalk will no doubt be talking about the recent sinking of HMS Bounty II. Attached are two of the many images connected with the recent demise. we will be referring to them occasionally. a.s. 
Personally I don’t think I would even consider going around the world in anything less than a hundred feet. But thanks to Boattalk listener Tom, here is a link to a video of a Swede who is preparing to sail around the world in a ten foot boat. I expect we will be talking about this and other small ventures on the next Boattalk Tuesday Nov. 6 Don’t forget to vote. The link is right below in tom’s comment. A.S.
