Your publicist, Scot, has been working hard for you. In my email this morning I found the following:


To: WoodenBoat Show Devotees We've just posted the Atkin Tribute Dinner (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu2cB5BcJk3nYFtFGNxQ8y2Jv-weA-7OUEYRt9yY2UUZ8K1YhweL6-mmFkMezj5qnSj_HmYfGKP3FTLpjHHHj9dYaTScYjsig-O6RiL92Dk9uBduLbPg39d6nUuOfDe5kks1juXH-k7ovNh1Cu_xfrawDMwKEKzhplXlEH11pVHtDg==) tickets on our Store site. If you missed the Phil Bolger Tribute, or last year's Mavens of Multi-hull, it's time to re-think those priorities, eh?

Who won the book FOCUSED on the COAST (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu3XRHoF-nB1Ktf778mc7FOMlVa6TRxxXxfj7siXFsTS3e569GKJtcVYGkK 6Nv-92NTwaNPZAel45_T9eAn6JyYHuiwrYj3MA8o4oAqYGfEDGV1L2 qJ4EPdOqX6PTyTNQYwTFnlVY2yCCAY8MZQNlz39lTIUKCjkQdp STcH3YJc52A==) from the Feb 18 posting? That would be Charles W. of Eagleville PA. Hope to see you at the show, Mr. W.

And, if you've had even half the snow we've accumulated over the last month, perhaps a tropical vacation would hit the spot. No... we're not giving one of those away. But, pop-in on Lefty's latest... A new Caribbean saga (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu3vvI9DXABHf0i6V-3cvO0vaH8n9HXXj5QIQ22S_swZazzPJgDuK3odcxPfyq_evFsd eINqATvGxDGAEFeOKS-k-QYVbryxrtuwsVUNPy5THw9OhIietQAHYzt4US3P9OEqKyL3KWu GGtb_AQ2csJ1H) which has been running on The WoodenBoat Forum for the past few weeks, and you'll have no regrets. It doesn't cost very much, and it lasts a long while.

What's the next raffle item? (You're automatically entered when you opted-in to this WBShow E-news.) POSTERS... two newbies, and were giving away two of each this round. Why four give-aways? We hope you'll help us spread the good word about the WB Show by telling a couple of friends (it's so simple... just click that FORWARD EMAIL link near the bottom of this email, and fill-in a few fields). And we figured a few of you might not want to reduce your odds of winning if you told anyone about the fabulous DFFs (Drawings for Freebies, which you pick-up at the WoodenBoat Store booth at the Show). So having four "prizes" ought to help your chances of snagging a freebie.

These brand-new (deluxe!) posters just arrived: one is a great photo of the WoodenBoat School (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu3PwygxX6sMkVUak77X8pE7sRJWbXOCKFXzZ c0XLRvNVpuWrlPxoUmf-NJw6jU9O92IMWgcvmej0CJw2EnhvjMqElnUUR35X-cfjoxsnwr63a5weKYkpnnPGw_Paezwfg7NHcpe-Se4iujqQELgavQP). The SHOP to be precise. Photo is by Bruce Sturgill. Not sure if he was perched on a tall ladder or if he actually climbed the tree to get that great angle. The other, WoodenBoat Publications (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu11cHxppYxZcC4mSF1nJIUabamL11aXjTDeF GsAij9JB5ypd3UZz5YDfGRO5uBySLk0HQEQLGkZQhSgCd9eWK4 V-yiL2qc3HxXi9Xl0IRXWz44N7rVYtEzn1PAb0iRAOPqtPyt8iWs og1suvDO72q4X), is an overhead of the "campus" showing the magazine office and the waterfront during the annual September Schooner Rendezvous. That shot is by photographer Kip Brundage who has taught photography (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu1TmhBtnMZnMzu60SFAwaqjNDdKxU_Qay1NG eTBpx2IhTc0AjMuT77YUUdPyc49-xDbqCXdPDW0tnG4Agf2a6DUPFStFl3V6X6bc8LtRHIqVjlkW00 BsHYc)at the WoodenBoat School. I'm pretty sure Kip isn't out on a limb for that image. Posters are 14 x 22", printed on heavy 14pt stock.

We'll post poster winners with our next update, and we'll include them with the Show Bits (http://rs6.net/tn.jsp?et=1102488012459&e=001a7K8h7cBGu3mGRC2kArv80gdZVJntc03Tsvmpurxd1009 bQfxmmQkscMoCM0x_cJPIiVZta1YPMwRvCccv7QXgyzKnsTBdU LMbcTc8kcDJYtvlfiK1WBNYgI1GiYC2pD2BIJlN7VzX1SA_IZj MzGM3VXocV40C0gBQXjc8syKPM=)info on the WoodenBoat Store site, where one can sign-up for the E-news. Oh, yes... and get tickets to the Atkin Tribute Dinner.
Til next time,
Scot & Crew

Just a second there, Lefty. I'm pretty sure that BIG TIME in capital letters is to actually be in the magazine, not just an e-mail. ;) Big time, maybe. :D

Well, this is Lefty we're talking about. Carter, on the other hand...

All we've got to do is to get Lefty and Carter to go down and do a piece on traditional boat-building in Carriacou and about the builders themselves (with pictures, of course...) and submit it to WB for an article. That way, they can write off the trip, too!
