This is a salute to Carol Baker, who was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2025 Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival.
“No one has done more in this community to collect, organize, catalog, and build not just one, but two extensive maritime library collections, one at the Port Townsend Public Library, established in 1993, and the other at Northwest Maritime’s H. W. McCurdy Library. With these two large collections, residents and visitors have free and public access to resources on all maritime subjects.” – https://woodenboat.org/lifetime-achievement-awards/
I have never met Carol, but I have been an avid enjoyer of the superb collections she has curated in Port Townsend and learned a great deal from them. I always recommend the maritime section to anyone who will listen. Thank you, Carol.

Real books are cool.
Kaoha Nui,
A big thanks to Joe and 48˚ North magazine for publishing Cruisers Sharing Seafood – Part of the Natural Order? in their October 2025 edition. It’s a story from my voyage aboard Sampaguita, a 1985 Pacific Seacraft Flicka 20. The title sets the tale up, so I won’t spoil any further.
I hope you enjoy, and thanks for stopping by.
Check out The Resourceful Sailor on Small Craft Advisor on September 6, 2025, where I talk about one of my favorite tools in The Resourceful Sailor Asks, “What Is Your Favorite Tool and Why?” Feel free to let us know what your fave is. There is no wrong answer!

A photo of a salty geezer and a salty boat just turned up. This is upon arrival in Port Angeles after 60 days at sea from the Marquesas,
And another installment of The Resourceful Sailor hit the internet on Sept. 5, 2025, at ‘Lectronic Latitude, The Resourceful Sailor Configures a Spinnaker Pole Holder. Thanks to Monica and Latitude 38 for the continued support. This one is about storing a spinnaker pole on the boom of a Thunderbird sailboat.

This is the second part of a two-part mini-series of The Resourceful Sailor and Murrelet. This one is like the title says, The Resourceful Sailor: Stepping a Small Sailboat Mast Using a Tripod. Thank you to Josh and Small Craft Advisor for republishing it on August 18, 2025, just in time for the Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival.
It was originally published on August 15, 2025, on ‘Lectronic Latitude.

Murrelet is a very endearing little boat. I was fortunate enough to help her owner, Bertram, step and unstep her mast this summer. It is accompanied by a different video approach than past Resourceful Sailor pieces. It is about using a tripod to step Murrelet‘s mast in the launch ramp parking lot.
Thank you to Monica and ‘Lectronic Latitude for publishing The Resourceful Sailor: Stepping a Small Boat Mast With a Tripod on August 15, 2025.

In case you missed it in ‘Lectronic Latitude, here it is in Small Craft Advisor.
Thanks to Sugar Flanagan from Alcyone, Erik Brown from Left Coast Charters, and Bertram Levy from the neighborhood for helping make this happen. And thanks to Josh and Small Craft Advisor for republishing it. It is a charming story of a big boat helping a small boat remove its mast in Port Townsend. One classic and one neo-classic, both are well-cared-for wooden boats and pleasant to look at. But it’s not just eye candy, it’s educational too.
