Just saw this ad for a Cat winter clinic . . . . - - - - - - - (Dutch link)​

However, as an eyewitness I can tell, there's no snow at 52°20'46.0"N 5°08'01.6"E at the time of sending this post.​

Summer picture from the same above linked ad, and yet another view of the location.​

 

Some massive chunks of Purpleheart with a huge hook scarf joint for Tally Ho's new keel . . . ​

Thread: Tally Ho holding out for a hero, the Hero found Tally Ho and is at work now, the pic comes from post #7.​

What year was that?

 

Here it says it's Harlan and Anna Hubbard’s shantyboat at Fort Thomas, Ky, no date given there for this pic, but since Harlan lived from 1900 till 1988, and in the surrounding similar pictures they look fairly young, my guess would be ± early 1930's for this one.

Hand built out of reclaimed redwood by artist, anarchist, and surprisingly practical river boat captain, Wes Modes - his aura is that of a modern day Huck Finn, his ships mates are friends and lovers and ‘Good dog Hazel’ is always on the couch, on guard, or under the table. . . . . . . . . . . . . ’’
