[Rhodes22-list] Rhendezvous Rain-out (nearly) Report - bogg?

[Wally Buck]

Tom,

Regardnig your question about a bogg...I am not a local just one of the many 
Damn Yankees living hear but I think it is like a marsh but I could be 
wrong.

Cutts and Case sounds cool, there is something about wooden boats that is 
just so right....until you have to worry about keeping them up. You 
mentioned Brooklyn NY and boat building by Herreshoff. Both my parents were 
born and raised in Brooklyn and many years ago my Dad worked at the Brooklyn 
Navy Yard. They didn't build wooden boats of course but years ago there was 
a bunch of boat building going on in that area. The Navy Yard closed down in 
the 70s but I have fond memories of poking around the yard in the 60s.

So my secret is out I am not a southern boy but a Ney Yorker! I keep that 
quiet around here. It has taken me 30 years to develop my souithern accent. 
:)

Nice pics!

Wally
