This skiff was built on Ocracoke about forty years ago by my father, Lawton Howard. It now belongs to me. Unfortunately, I haven't had it in the water much lately because there have been numerous problems with the outboard motor.
The sketch above was made by my 15 year old grandson, Eakin Howard. You can see more of his artwork at http://eakinsdrawings.wordpress.com/.

Your grandson is very talented.
ReplyDeletePhilip,
ReplyDeleteJust finished looking at Eakin's other sketches. They are great, he is quite talented. I guess he takes after his Grandfather! I love the sketch he did of Uncle Lawton's boat.
Take Care,
Juanita
NC Mainlander agrees with bloggers...your grandson must have inherited those creative "Howard" genes. I also remember the skiff. Hope you will be able to get the motor running this year.
ReplyDeleteOh, Philip, did you get any snow?
