Old sailing dinghy

I met my friend Louie at Nick's cove, a bayside inn in Marshall on Tomales Bay yesterday. This old dinghy was on display inside. After lunch we drove around looking for a place for Louie to berth his 26' long sailboat, a "Crotch Island Pinky" that he and his friend Pete built over a 10-year period. It's now in the Noyo Harbor just south of Ft. Bragg, Calif. Louie may move it down to Bodega Bay, which is great by me because it's a lot closer for me to go sailing (and fishing) with him. (Louie is the featured builder in Home Work.)

What a fantastic name for a boat!

The lapstrake dinghy pictured is NOT a dory. And dories make lousy sailboats, as their initial stability sucks. THIS is a dory: http://boatplanswooden.com/images/fishing-boat-dory.jpg
