Still Waters at Forest Pond
I asked my buddy Leo about “Dad’s Dory” and he reported “the bottom’s gone right out of ‘er”! It looks like it won’t see the water ever again. As we say in these parts, “she’s gone b’y”! The dory is a banks dory and is about 50 years old, his Dad used to own it.
Dad’s Dory
He is looking for a dory to replace it, would anyone know where he might get one? I should add we are in St John’s Newfoundland. When we get one we’ll put it in Forest Pond and Leo will look after it. I’ll be sure to take some photographs and post them here

C'est la vie.

Thanks for your time. Hope you have a good day!
At 50 years old, it would be such a shame to let it rot away. Drop up to the local saw mill and get some dory plank sawn, a few timbers, some dory buff yellow paint, plus a little time, and your back in business! Like the sky and reflections in "Floating on Clouds"
ReplyDeleteThanks Dion, I haven't seen it myself but Leo's a very good craftsman so it must be in pretty bad shape it he put it that way. But it would be great to save it for sure. Thanks for your advice!
