Hey Drew, this is Matthew, Jesse introduced us at the last trancemission party.
I found your site in your sig on fixed van, I’ve been lurking there bike geeking it up

I live on my sailboat in richmond, here are some pictures.
http://picasaweb.google.ca/horizonfov/WhatIs#

The guy who designed the hull for my boat is Brent Swain. He wrote a book about building boats and lives on his boat and makes a living welding. There’s an awesome mailing list called oragami boats on yahoo http://groups.yahoo.com/group/origamiboats/
where people who are building boats discuss various aspects of boat design and solving problems.

A topic that comes up frequently is exhaust systems on engines. The long and short of it, is that is that wet exhaust systems fail all the time. Someone on the group quoted a marine mechanic friend as saying there he wouldn’t have enough work if everyone used a dry exhaust system.

My long term life plan besides having kids one day, is to build a 40 foot steel sailboat.

I hope all is well at anchor, I was looking at the marine forecast today, looks like she’s confused and headed to swing to a north westerly. I’m itching to get out sailing but the weather has been crap, I keep on saying “maybe next weekend”.

I went for a walk down to the beach at the bottom of Trafalgar with a couple friends, I saw your boat out there, she’s pretty

I carry a spyderco Scorpius like this http://spiderco.com/catalog/details.php?product=39 but without the serration. It’s a beautiful item and really does its job well. To people who aren’t familiar with knives it DOES look a tad threatening though. But it’s been a HUGE help when I was working construction and retail (opening boxes… although my boss gave me hell for using it even though the “exacto knives” they provided were dangerously dull and had tape goo messing up the safety mechanisms and people tended to leave them where customers and kids could grab them). Regardless, I love this knife and I’m always glad I have it.

Not a big fan of Swiss Army Knives. Had several as a kid but with no locking mechanism and mediocre steel they sit in a drawer most of the time.

I don’t think you should hesitate to own *several* knives, Drew. Maybe cycle through them in an EDC role. I’ve heard nothing but good things about SpiderCo, they make good high value knifes.

Here’s an interesting video about knives from a guy who makes them. If you don’t have time to watch, he basically promoted the idea of a fixed blade “neck knife” which may work well for you. He claims that almost 100% of the price of a fixed blade goes into the steel where as up to 75% of the cost of a folding knife goes into the handle.

Sorry to hear about the losses, that kinda blows.

Have you considered the Victorinox Helmsman Swiss Army Knife. I have used this knife for two years now and find it’s marlin spike much easier to use for undoing seized knots. It also comes in a skipper variation which includes pliers and a cork screw.

Thanks for the update! I totally dig learning little things like “boil the thermostats.”

I wish I was still in vancouver, I just now ran out of some detergent I bought there and the jug is pretty large.

I thought of you when i bizarrely stumbled on this page…(Article about rice cooker.)
