Seine Net: A Reflection On the 22nd Sunday After Pentecost
Seine Net is the same reflection series I have been doing on Sundays, just a new name. I wanted something a little more nautical oriented that also captured (get the pun?) the sense of my grabbing random bits of information to think about. Just as a seine net pulls up all sorts of things, some […]

Open Boat Sailing

3 Seater
I couldn’t resist the humor. One of the houses we lived in used to have a three seater. It was long gone by the time we lived there. Our neighbor grew up in the house, and he had fond memories of it. “I always felt a little lonely visiting my friend’s single seaters,” he once […]

Will They, Or Won’t They?
Collide, that is. I doubt it. Small boat sailors seem to alert and quick on the helm. Besides, I’m the one that drew these, right? 😆 Inktober prompt: Collide. . . . #Inktober #Inktober2021 #SketchForToday #Sketching #Sketch #PenAndInk #CrossHatching #CrossHatch #FountainPen #WingSung698 #deAtramentisInk #MoleskineArtSketchbook #theoboatology ______(\____________/)______ This is from the Rev.
