Welcome back Anders, looks like you have been busy. Very nice.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Oct. 1 2010 9:46:12)
Thanks Simon You know me. I´m always doing something. Life is here to be lived. BTW: 3 month without internet and mobile phone was really great.

Welcom back Andres. Thanks for sharing the enviable photos and stories.

Earlier if you count non-Internet dial-up email. That would go back to 1988 and I had a car phone then. What a yuppie I was [:'(] Having said that I will never forget my 3 years out in Andalcía. Bliss to have my own pace of life. Now you have a house in Spain and a yacht in Denmark for the Summer. Not bad at all!

Hi Anders! Great to see you back! Looks like you had a great summer. You certainly have been busy and not just sitting on a rock...[;)] So will the new signature be... "Fine Flamenco and Classical guitars...Yachts and small craft" [:D] cheers, Ron

Welcome back! Seems you had a great time! I spent a lot of time sailing as a kid but haven't been into it for quite a while (the main reason being that I don't have a patent, which is required here in Germany)

Welcome back Anders! Just watched your blogs...that must have been a great holiday. I've never been on a boat, exept on a "pont" to cross De Westerschelde in Zeeland The Netherlands. Is that the second boat you are building?

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Jun. 21 2011 21:29:55)

very lovely boat Anders! ... in the past, at the old part of my town’s seaport, were built wooden boats small and large ......up to ten years ago there was an old boat builder who had a small shop, so in the summer time he used to work in the small square just close to his shop; there were few steps to climb to the level of the street; that is why children, and some times even the adults, used to sit on the steps to watch him work. Too bad ….those days are gone! ciao

Muy guapa, happy sailing!

Pimientito -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Jun. 22 2011 8:45:43)
Did you go for a french polish or polteurethene finish? [;)]

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Jun. 23 2011 7:58:22)
quote: Too bad ….those days are gone! Well, yes, and well, no. In some countrys, especially the US and GB, amateur boatbuilding is really big. You can buy thousands of plans and there are huge wooden boat communities. In Spain, and most other mediterranean countrys, its totally dead. The thing is painted with a brush using good quality exterior paint. Nothing fancy, but easy to repair.

Pimientito -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Jun. 23 2011 9:29:18)
quote: In Spain, and most other mediterranean countrys, its totally dead Thats because wood is so amazingly expensive here. Also I guess you need permission to row a boat in spain. I know lots of lakes near to me which would be great for water sports but noone can get a licence.

Anders Eliasson -> RE: Things I did this summer and things I do now (Jun. 23 2011 10:22:30)
It has nothing to do with wood. The legislation is downright horrendous. Its basically impossible to build anything here unless you are interested in dancing with spanish burocracy and paying A LOT of money. Its a legislation totally controled by the mass producers of plastic boats and the naval architects who can earn some more money on a controlled market. One more tipical Spanish legislation wher the politicians show that they know ABSOLUTELY nothing about what they do and what the people need. Rowboats are supposed to be free of the legislation if they are small (narrow ) enough. So are canoes and kayaks. Another thing is that its prohibited to do any kind of watersports in many ponds (pantanos) in Andalucia. Especially in mountain areas. (another stupid law.) But again if it was free, the "pantanos" would be full of jetski.[:'(]

But again if it was free, the "pantanos" would be full of jetski.[:'(] Well yes that would be awful but I think there is another reason which is the strong undercurrents in the pantanos, many of which were made by flooding villages. Swimming in them you can look down through the murky water and see trees. Its very weird. We dont swim there any more. i got too scared. Harold used to love swimming right across and back again, while I panicked as so many people, strong swimmers, die every year from the undertow or whatever that can pull you down into the dpeths and not let you back up again.
