And, like many new vessels, there are few things that will have to be done at the dock or on the mooring. But she's floating, and she'd love to have some folks take her out for a little tour around the harbor. Please stop by!

We'd love to know what you think. Thanks!

The site looks great Ruth. I like the brief intro on each topic the reader finds on the front page. The Somes looks like a really great boat...I look forward to seeing one in person. The WB students are going to have fun building her. Good job! --Clint

Great pictures of Somes Sound 12 1/2. Looking forward to your class this summer. Hopefully a full of inspection of work will be carried out by the new family members.
We have enjoyed the building process so much (excuses... excuses), our Ellen has just now reached the painting/varnish stage.
Good Luck.....Edward and Christine
I'm rereading your book for the second time and dreaming about boats again; this seems to happen every June.
The website looks good and I'm looking forward to reading more on the blog.
Would you consider posting some more pictures and a description of GEM? There are some pictures of her in the book, but I'd like more details on the design.
Wow. I got here from the Tie Tie blog and had NO idea you were into wooden boats! Chris (DH) dreams of building, but in land-locked (and dry climate) Colorado, it is hard to justify. Before we became parents (pre 2001), we used to visit Brooklin and stay at a B&B there. We roamed around the grounds and buildings at Woodenboat a lot! Much time in Mystic and Bristol, too. I still have some purpleheart shavings that I gathered off the floor during the making of the keel for the Amistad. Great memories! These days, we have two little glass day sailors - a Vagabond and a West White Potter (hull 215). I hope I got all that right, as Chris is the Captain of our seas. LOL! Well, back to the TieTie blog, as I cannot wait to see your Gotcha! Love and fair winds and smooth sails from Colorado, Holly (mom to 3 from Jiangxi, and a big fan of your sweet TieTie for the last 5+ years!)
