Boats – Caught in my headlights

Miss Britain III

Came across this in the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich. Very cool but slightly scary looking vehicle – This was a speed record boat from 1933, built of aluminium sheet over a wood and aluminium frame. A little bit “steam punk” but needed more brass! 😉

Boats, Boracay Island

The boats in the Philippine island of Boracay are unusual for their incredibly narrow hulls and double outriggers. Main sails are stretched between two booms and sit at a jaunty elevated angle. This scene was sketched while sitting under the shady palms and sea grapes at The Coco Loco Bar in Station 3.
