Came home one day last week to find my well-traveled leg on the front porch:

It had a couple of new tattoos, but was no worse for the trip to Philly and back:

Of course the pictures don't do Vince's work justice, but he made me a piece to replace the tattered shoestring that formerly held this boom crutch pin to its shoulder bolt:

He also crafted a lanyard for the wid :D (Hugh's wrench/fid combination), and the amazing Wid Holder:

Sarah is going to be the best dressed lady on the dock :)

Here's Vince's boom crutch pin retaining device in action:

Sorry no pictures of the wid in action. It's already been put to good use, but, as in the replacement of the tiller bolt while underway trick, times weren't condusive to me going below to get the camera. :eek:

THANK YOU VINCE! Everything (especially the unexpected wid holder) is exceptional, amazing, and lots of other adjectives! :):)

Looks like a major award to me . . . only it's missing the lampshade.
