Description
The owner of the neighbouring sailboat referred to this vessel as the "old wooden boat". Apparently the wooden boat is owned by a former Queen's Professor who is also the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the Maritime Museum. The story all ties together. The museum was slated to close either because of Kingston or Ottawa politicians - who is the decision-maker is never clear. I almost referred to the decision makers as villians as it seems that the cuts always fall first on culture and the arts and the cuts never seem to end. The decision makers are never cut.
I admired the lines of the wooden boat and felt I could turn it into a nice work. There are only a few brush strokes in the Canadian flag but they were magical and I left them in their classic imperfections. I almost got carried away with too much detail - maybe I did. Once the details were painted in, I didn't feel right taking them out again.
The title came to me thinking of taking this sailing boat for a three hour tour of the eastern end of Lake Ontario. Gilligan's Island was an American sitcom created and produced by Sherwood Schwartz via United Artists Television. The show had an ensemble cast that featured Bob Denver, Alan Hale Jr., Jim Backus, Natalie Schafer, Russell Johnson, Tina Louise, and Dawn Wells. It aired for three seasons on the CBS network from September 26, 1964, to April 17, 1967. Of course, the Skipper owned the boat in the TV series but the Professor had all of the brains and ideas to do anything.
