Each day Odin sends Huginn and Muninn (Thought and Memory) to fly over Midgard (Middle Earth). The two ravens return and sit on. Houlders whispering in his ears what they have seen. It's also just a great name for a black boat! Says I. "Rock fish," he would report. We were both having fun together doing different things. Years a...

Ravn: a 19-foot faering. A detailed account of the building of a faering designed by Atkin and her continuing adventures. Saturday, May 1, 2010. The keel on Atkin's Valgerda may be the most controversial element in his design catalog. Yesterday I received an email from Tom in Georgia, who is about to order Valgerda plans, but needs shallower draft than the 18 inches drawn by Atkin. Here's part of my reply:.

Ravn: a 19-foot faering. A detailed account of the building of a faering designed by Atkin and her continuing adventures. Sunday, June 3, 2012. A faering full of Fords. Three generations of Ford men, my grandson, son and me. I filled the faering full of Fords and we sailed Budd Inlet the Saturday before Memorial Day. There was plenty of room with six aboard: my youngest son, his wife, two kids, my wife and me. Several times during the sail the center thwart was empty. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

It was more than two years ago that my wife and I decided to buy a sailboat and go cruising. This was and is one of the most exciting and life-changing decisions ever and we are both fully committed to it. It means selling or giving away everything that won't fit on our Columbia 43 sailboat Oceanus. The following Saturday ...

Ravn: a 19-foot faering. A detailed account of the building of a faering designed by Atkin and her continuing adventures. Friday, March 9, 2012. Prudent, or just a chicken? Looks deceptively placid. It's blowing like stink! After what seems like weeks of cold, rainy weather we got a little sun. All day yesterday I was wishing I wasn't at work so I could take Ravn. I guess I will never know: I unstepped the mast, strapped my little faering down and headed for home. It is now four hours later and the cloud...
