"Hi Michael,
Very interesting!
I am very curious (as a Dutch teacher boatbuilding) how things will unrole.
I stopped professional boatbuilding for helath reasons. I am still in a good good condition after a minor brain bloodcloth
Keep me posted!"
"I just saw your mail asking about painting the waterline:

And polplar we use for wooden shoes!"
"Devon, near the River Dart, 3 miles from the sea. Took me a long time to get here (and a few £'s)!
If I could build boats from the hazel or beech around me I would be even luckier but no one has worked out how to do that yet....
I have a…"
"Where you live??? You are a lucky guy!!"
"Nice work Bert and thanks for the opportunity for me to think a little harder about cedar, there is always more to learn about wood.
From what you say, I can't see why the species you are interested in from Costa Rica should be on any…"
"Hi Rueben,
