Adventures in Miniature Boats

.
Hi Albie here. Whoever thought you could have so much fun with miniature boats! Well, if you don’t have a real life sized one – this is the next best thing. Especially when you’re a kid and don’t have any other choice. 

.

When I was a kid, it was either drawing boats or making miniature ones (or building model ones). I couldn’t get enough of any of the three. In fact I put them all together and created a “pirate game”. I drew the map and game board, and built the ships that were in the game. Then I wrote each of the adventures on the cards. We had a lot of fun and would play for hours!

.

.

Later, when I grew up, I built a miniature sailboat from a wooden frame that I created with wooden beams that I bent and shaped. I created it to be watertight and eventually sailed it across lakes and even into the ocean! It survived huge beach waves and getting flipped upside down by huge “monster” waves along the shore. It was built to be able to flip right side up – just like a real sailboat and it did! I was so proud.
I even created a video adventure with miniature sailboats sailing with the wind. You can see it here. I mean, there’s excitement when a miniature boat gets a breeze across its beam, catches speed and begins to take off!

.

.

It took me over a year to build that boat in my spare time and I sure learned a lot about real boats in the process. I literally had no idea that you could take new wood and soak it in really hot water for half an hour and that it would then be pliable to bend along a frame. Later when the wood dried, it would hold its shape!

.

The other thing I learned was how amazing math was. I have always been bad in math and hated it since I was a kid (I had an abusive teacher when I was in elementary school who caused me to fear and hate it). What I wish I had known as a kid is that boats are built completely on math and I think it would be the most excellent way of teaching math to a child (or anyone for that matter). I mean, for instance, the width and length of the boat will give it stability
and along with the weight of the ballast, will help it maintain its balance. The mast will stand if it’s the right size with correct proportions and will hold the sails full of wind – only if there is enough width and weight in the boats makeup. Symmetry is especially important too and math is everywhere: for example: how tall the mast is, compared to how long the boat length is and how much ballast in the hold. And there are a million other numbers you have to consider to
make a beautifully working boat! You can see some beautiful examples of miniature boats in my new video coming out soon.

.

I personally love these miniature tall ships and how much detail is given to them – almost like the real thing!

.

In fact I spent a couple years volunteering on a couple real tall ships in San Pedro California to help inner city kids. We would take groups of kids sailing and teach them life skills at the same time. We would sail them out to Catalina Island and other places. It was actually very effective (which is kind of hard to explain unless you actually try it yourself). The thing is that being on a boat for a weekend, actually creates a natural environment to work together
as a team and it can be life changing
on occasions for kids and adults.

.

So, anyway, I learned a lot about real ships by being part of the crew for two years on a “Tall Ship” with masts and sails like the old Clipper ships and this helped me understand ships much better. It also helped me realize the difference between what a good miniature ship was and a bad one.

.

I could tell almost instantly if the miniature ship was built according to real proportions of a real ship and if the lines and spars were correct. Finally, if you want to give your child a little adventure, you can create a real live working miniature boat just with a soda bottle, some rocks, a stick from a tree, a knife or scissors, a piece of paper and a rubber band. I learned this on my own from a lot of trial and error and hope you enjoy it like I did!

.

.

.

Here’s how you do it: 
First off, you cut a little hole into a soda bottle at the back of it (which will now be the top deck of your boat).
Make sure the cap is closed on your soda bottle. You can use any size soda bottle you want, you just will need a bigger stick and rocks based on what size it is.

Then cut a tiny little hole in the center of the bottle (still on the “top deck”). Place a few rocks into the first hole you cut out.
Then place the stick through the center hole and take a few rocks and “rubber band” them to the bottom of the stick.
You want just enough rocks to ballast the boat – not to sink it.

Now take the white paper and cut it in half. Put two small holes with the scissors unto the paper (one at the top and one at the bottom).
Then place the stick end or “mast” top through the two holes and you have yourself a sail!

Just make sure the rocks are below the mast and are “balanced” near the mast. You don’t want the rocks to imbalance the boat.
If the rocks are placed improperly, the boat will “list” on its side instead of float upright with the mast pointing directly up towards the sky.

.

 

Now launch the boat into a body of water, such as a lake. If you want to get it back, then simply tie fishing line to the back of it and pull it back gently towards you when you want it back.

.

If there is any wind the boat will move through the water. If there is too much wind, the boat will list and then possibly sink. You just want enough wind to push the boat gently through the water!

.

I hope you have enjoyed hearing the various “adventures” you can have with miniature ships and boats. Along with this you can also have adventures sharing what you love and earning online too. I’ve shown you an example of how I’ve shared my love of miniature boats with you and now I’m going to share a link with you to join us online and learn the skills you need to bring yourself prospects and paying members under you:

Hi Albie here! For many years I was looking for the girl of my dreams. Dating was actually pretty painful for me. Finding someone that you can be infatuated with is pretty easy but to find someone that you feel completely “at home” with inside your heart, is another. 

.

I didn’t know it at the time but when I found Janette, she became to me like my best friend and lover at the same time. It’s really hard to just “find” someone who is a best friend. I mean, I’ve had four best friends in my life. And each of them was not easy to find nor did I find ANY of them “searching” for them. They all came into my life completely
“by accident” when I was least expecting it.

.

To See the rest, go HERE

.

.
.
God’s love is there for you and I always. And its this love that has walked hand in hand with Janette and I through the years. Its been the constant, the bottom denominator, and the reason we’ve come through all the bad times and forgiven each other. It’s this love that has been the light that has illuminated our darkness.
.
This is the love that you don’t have to be “lucky” to find or be in the right place at the right time. And I’ve found that if you find “the one” that it will eventually turn sour without the author of love in the middle of it.
.
Today I hope you know how loved you are. Even if you can’t feel it, you can know you are because the author of life and love gave his everything for you. If you need me to explain, then simply email me back.

.

  Not only are you loved but we have been given life and options to choose this or that, go here or there and work hard to achieve our dreams. Many of us have families and friends and those we love. But in addition, you have a team of friends waiting here for you if you want it. I find it a beautiful thing working with you and others that connect with me online and I would love to meet you too! .

Hi Albie here! Here’s a “wee” little sea story for you…(haha!)

.

When I got down to the marina where my boat was, the wind was blowing soft, pretty patterns over the water and I felt excited to be going out on the ocean again. 

.

There’s just simply nothing quite like getting the boat ready and then skillfully maneuvering the sails so that the wind blows my boat swiftly out…

Hi Albie here! Right now, I’m writing this at the dock while waiting to go aboard the Catalina Express ship. This is a really fast catamaran shaped vessel that flies through the water propelled by two or three huge engines.
.

White water shoots across the water, shot out by the massive engines as the Catalina Express flies across the sea toward Avalon. This is the main town on Catalina that is still just as quaint as ever, with its lack of cars and lack of overpopulation. 
.
On our anniversary, over twenty years ago, my wife Janette and I stayed at a really cool pink “Victorian era” like hotel called Hotel St. Lauren. I’m looking over at it right now and remembering how much fun we had there!
.
My daughter and I then enjoyed renting a couple of bikes and riding fast along the main road along the ocean. It was fun to feel the ocean breeze on our faces, the pretty waves crashing along the beach as we rode swiftly past shore line cliffs and…

Sailing With Albie

 “I was captivated by the water, the wind and the sky.”

Hi! This is Albie. I wanted to share with you the love of sailing
and some of my adventures!

.

One of my first sunset pictures of Malibu at sea from when I was still new to sailing.

Tall Ships have always captivated me. That’s why for a couple years

I volunteered on the Tall Ships Irving and Exy Johnson. 

The ocean has fascinated me since I was  young. Drawing tall ships in elementary school was encouraged further after my parents took me to visit the HMS “Victory” in Plymouth, England and the “Cutty Sark” in Greenwich London. From an early age, I learned to love to travel and love the ocean. Today I still love to draw sailboats and tall ships.

.

.

 Later, After reading a book about a family that sailed across the Atlantic, my curiosity about sailing was fanned into flame. One of the things that captivated my attention was the initial planning the father made for the trip at his desk with the sea maps, charts and navigational tools in front of him. I could see myself doing that and couldn’t wait to start! The other thing that challenged me was the actual trip and the challenge of the sea.

.

Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi

Come see one of my favorite sailing books by clicking here.

.

Having been out at sea for over 400 days (not in a row) at this time, I have to confront my earlier thoughts on the ocean and say that sometimes the ocean will do more than just challenge you. Sometimes it will drive you to the point of  sheer panic and it’s all you can do to stay focused on creating a solution to a desperate situation (when you know you may not have enough time to succeed). Still, to actually believe you will fail, will cause you to panic. So you have to think fast and come up with something you think may actually work!

.

I don’t mean to scare you or make you feel frightened of the ocean. The truth is that the more experience you have, the more control you will have. There is never full control and in fact, the ocean is stronger than anyone can imagine. Of course everyone believes this. However, after reading “Force Ten” and then having been in thirty five small craft advisories, gales and storms at sea; the truth suddenly hit me between the eyes. From that day, I slowed down and realized I didn’t need to challenge the ocean anymore. 

.

It helps to have a healthy respect of the sea.

This will keep you from some of the worst trouble you’ll ever get yourself into!

.

Since I didn’t  have my own boat, I made my own!

.

My model boat took a year to build it in my spare time. I made it with a lot of study of how to build my own boats (yet I still built it without any boat plans).

.

 I even learned how to bend the wood around the frame by soaking the wood in really hot water for half an hour and then attaching the wooden beams to the framework. By the time it had dried, the wood was pliable and bent how you needed it to go.
.
  It sailed very well and it was set to sail automatically on a beam reach (at 90 degree  angle to the wind). I took it out across lakes, large bays and even out on the ocean!
.
 It could be flipped by a wave upside down and right itself up again!
But if it flipped two or three times then it would sink (just like a real sailboat)!
.

Today it sits in my bedroom window and doesn’t sail all that much. But it taught me a great deal about boats and how much symmetry and math go into making one!

.

After building the boat, it was time to go to the next step.

Soon I was taking sailing lessons and joining others cruises out to Catalina Island!

San Diego Adventure!

.
Hi! Albie here. This last weekend we had bit of adventure in San Diego. We stayed overnight on Shelter Island and in the morning woke up to see the beautiful view of the water in the bay. We sat under a shady flower arbor and watched kayakers and boats sail by while we ate ham, eggs and pancakes. Sounds relaxing huh!

.

Sunny Sunflowers
Sunny Sunflowers Sunny Sunflowers

Brighten any room or occasion with these sunny sunflowers and fresh greens nestled in a clear glass bowl or vase. Approximately 8 to 10 inches in height. Available in most areas from late May through early November. Florist delivery in the USA and Canada.

.

Then we went to the beach and I took my dog Kiba into the ocean. It was low tide and we were able to wade out together over the jade green rocks. The water was so cool and refreshing and I was surprised to see Kiba enjoying the water as much as I was. You can see more about the fun we had in the video at the top of the page. 🙂

What’s your dream?

Hi! This is Albie again.

.
Let me start off by asking you what your dream is? So let me get back to this in just a second…

.

I’m not sure if you know this but I’m a big pirate fan. It kind of makes sense since I love the ocean and boats and sailing. I mean what’s not to love about sailing around beautiful islands and unloading and hiding treasure chests off on the beach somewhere (lol).

.

The thing is that pirates in real life were actually really bad. If you’ve read any true stories about them, they were quite horrible actually and were the worst kind of thieves and murderers. But there are some good things too. The one good that I love about pirates is that they stood for an independent and democratic way of living back then when most countries were ruled by kings. In fact, it’s my opinion that the Caribbean was the breading ground for the American idea of freedom that later was fought for in the War of Independence. I mean that’s the dream right, to sail around from one beautiful island to the next (or stay as long as you like) and be able to have an income where you can live a life you have some control over. 

And that’s kind of what I’m all into too. Does it sound anything like your dream? Personally, I like the independence of working for myself, earning monthly residual income and with the increasing freedom of having more and more funds to go anywhere in the world and be able to work there too if I need to. Would you agree?

So that’s why I’m writing all this to encourage you that this is something you can do also. Maybe you’ve been discouraged like I was from trying so hard for so many years with very little success? I totally understand that. However, after five years of working hard to figure out the “pieces of the puzzle” online, I finally found my answers thanks to a good mentor. And that’s what Elizabeta and I can be for you also.

.

Honestly there are five critical skills you have to begin learning to succeed here and its my passion to help you to learn them. 

.

So if you’re dream of doing this is more than just a mere fancy, then please do one or two things:
