EPISODE 405  RESCUING A  15′ ROWBOAT<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Michael V sent a truckload of things  to the farm a couple of weeks ago.  Most that ad seen better days.<\/div>\n
Then the nose of a rowboatwas shoved  out.   Rowboats are key objects in maritime movie sets.  Hard to<\/div>\n
find.  Who wants their prize rowboat potentially bashed in a movie set?   So this rowboat looked<\/div>\n
interesting.  What was it doing on a load of scrap iron?  Scrap!<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201ccame out of a fire, Alan\u2026big patch of the frame is charred black.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cLet me put the belt sander to it.\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Afer sanding my arms were black with charcoal but the boat looked a lot better<\/div>\n
So I gave the boat a good bath with soap and water.  Found a few places where the fire<\/div>\n
had burned holes which I patched with plastic wood.  Then I asked for advice from<\/div>\n
friends\u2026penetrating oil or Latex house paint.   I choose he latter.\\<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
” Take a look at<\/div>\n
the boat today.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWill it float?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cNo\u2026but it sure looks like a good prop for Hemingway\u2019s Old Man and the Sea.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOr The Ancient Mariner\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOr Cannery Row\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOr Dunkirk evacuation\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cOr our farm yard.”<\/div>\n
