Caillou Boats
growing up in a salty boat community outside SF,
I have always been intrigued by boat building.
along the funky docks of houseboats and anchor-ins,
old sailors would be working all day on their boats
carving, sanding, painting

It's hard not to romanticize Hemmingway
"the old man and the sea"
I think great design begins with a great boat
before Ferraris, Lamborghinis and MGs
I think the boat was man's first beloved vehicle.
In Tiverton, Rhode Island,
John Meikle makes it so again
