I got an old hard dinghy in New York from my friend Jane, who had salvaged it after it went adrift and was damaged. She did some repairs to it, I did more, and painted it red with some leftover hull paint that I had mixed. It's been an adequate rowing dinghy.

I had rowed to the beach to meet someone and a fashion photographer noticed the dinghy and asked to use it in their shoot. I thought it made an interesting picture.



Update: Sadly, this dinghy was stolen while we were at a boatyard in Nanaimo in July 2014. Now to find or build another rowing dinghy...
