One Million Views

14 Apr 24:

We started our blog in January 2013 with a purpose "...to share information on small boat restoration, sailing and maintenance." This is our vehicle to pay forward what others have shared with us. A little over 2000 posts later we passed the One Million Views mark! 

Views started to rise during the pandemic, and took a big jump in 2023.

It has been fun to have viewers from around the globe, and although a good number of them are bots, many are real human beings who have reached out to us to exchange knowledge. We've been happy to help with technical knowledge on boat builds in South America and Africa. And we even met a fan in our local grocery store parking lot..."Oh, you're the Small Boat Restoration people!" 

We do indeed reply to comments, so if you have questions or suggestions, drop us a note in the Comments section. 

Global view locations, well, internet server locations anyway.

We've also enjoyed seeing friends check in, one in particular we followed around the globe, a little red dot by Durban a few years back brought a smile to our face.

And we like getting visits from our friends down on the Gulf Coast.

So thanks for tuning in. Keep an eye out for exciting changes coming in 2025, "Clark" Kent (me) will be retiring from a 25 year Air Line career, and be freed up to play with more boats. Skipper and I hope to expand our hobby adventure a bit into a small, fun business, offering more Small Boat Owners Manuals, plans, patterns and build guides. We also plan to build more boats, on speculation or commission. And Skipper will be creating pirate clothes under her brand "Pirating About." If you need a pirate coat, she's the best tailor out there!*

Give us a shout,

"Clark" Kent and "Skipper" Audrey

*Everyone needs a pirate coat...
