Water on the lower deck hallways! The fishing crew has their own level on the lower deck (below the water line) -- a galley, rooms with bunks, and a small lounge area. We came down to work on the plumbing there and found water. We thought the hull had sprung a leak! It turned out to be an overflowing holding tank. I helped mop up. There are so many pumps and tanks and systems on this boat, it is mind-boggling. I'm glad I'm just the carpenter and not the engineer!

The art of Lee Mothes
The details and particulars in my paintings are often taken from my photos. A dramatic Midwestern sky might be juxtaposed over a wild and early California coastline, with an especially charming old farmhouse plunked down on the beach (complete with a glad- or geranium-filled flower garden), there may be toys strewn about -- usually there's some surf. There's a little something for everyone! - Relocate without leaving home...
The Commonwealth of New Island
I've thought about "where" for so long that the idea of an imaginary place took hold. After many years of mulling it over and playing around, I've developed it -- and continue to develop it -- into a real imaginary place called New Island.
