I thought you might like to see how my young 'boatees' ended up.

I first wrote about them here ...last August,

and they were delivered to the galleries in time for the Summer Exhibitions.

I love the smell of a boat shed..... that combination of musty odours 

from wet timbers and canvas, lifejackets and ropes, 

and the fresh salty tang of fibreglass hulls and oars dripping in salt water.
