Peter the True Blue shipwright receives the painting of his marina; his empire------featuring three boats that were designed and built by his own hand...gathered here where they were birthed.  I'll make some changes this winter when the (oil) paint is really dry.  He will help me to finish the 23 foot boat this autumn; as he has many large projects of his own to complete...

Topside details begin;  this design is being thought out on the fly::
-a little bit historical sources/interpretations,
- a little bit from a Tintoretto painting on the fourth crusade,
- a little bit artistic license
