Hi John
by: Mike

Just wanted to let you know about the new DIY Wood Boat Club.

This won’t affect this great page of yours.

However, it is hoped that the new “Club”will give you much more control over what is posted and how it is presented.

Make it easier to post Photos and Videos, ask and answer questions in the Forum.

And above all create a social network for Wooden Boat Enthusiasts.

You can control your own privacy settings and it's free, so why not sign up now, give it a (no obligation) try.

There you go Capt. Dean..

Our host has assured me that she's not such a bad little boat.

Without his wisdom, I wouldn't have gotten this far with her.
