After finishing new grandaughter's dresser, I was so wound up for projects I just kept going. Here are three made because I am to cheap to spend the money for fancy ones. Aryln gave me one idea, Jim, with his rod holders gave me another and the seat was just because by rear hurt after sitting on the aft pulpit rail and because I could not see over the cabin.

Hey that seat is neat, could double as a shelf to hold your viddels while cooking on a rail grill. (nice looking job, someone is a skilled wood worker)

NICE!
SAMS Club has Thermopedic pillows that would work really well on that seat. They are even formed in a way that would be good.

Very nice. You could probably market that seat. Considering your screen name, I'd call it the Lily Pad.

Steve, the General got a big kick out of your "Lilly Pad" name, but wasn't to keen on manufacturing them. The wood is flooring that we used for trailer floors back in the old days. Now all they use is 13 ply plywood to save weight. I will have to go by Sam's and check out the cushion after the Mug Race.

Speaking of the MUG RACE, I paid my fee today and have my skippers pack. But I have to call to found out my start time. Diane didn't know what to rate me. Sure hope it rains itself out by Saturday!
NOAA calls for NE@15kts. I better put some more sail tape on the jib. Only other thing left to do is change my oil in the Tahatsu and top off the tanks. I'm excited!

Ben, we are leaving tommorrow for East Palatka and to Riverfront Hotel on Friday. C250 start 0804:39 non-spin 0808:+ spin. Tom has 0808 start and will be flying his big chute if the winds are favorable. As of now, if weather guessers correct will be close haul and reach on Saturday. See you there Friday.
