Very appropriate thread, I lost my Dad exactly 10 years ago today.I have to admit I have thought of him a lot today. As others have said my Dad was a master of everything mechanical. I was always amazed by his ingenuity. It must have been that generation that thought nothing of fixing something with what they had available. It came in handy many times in far away places on land and sea. This picture I am sure were someof my Dad's favorite days, fishing in SE Alaska and sailing off Key West. My father lived his life on and for the the water. RIP Edward you are missed and loved by many.
