 David had just flown in from Australia the night before and still managed to thoroughly enjoy rowing around the upper harbour between ‘on camera’ takes. “That’s a sweet boat” he commented to Marie and myself and of course we extended an invitation, time permitting, to go rowing whenever he’s in town.More about David Suzuki, his life’s work and the David Suzuki Foundation can be found at www.davidsuzuki.org  Dockside Green is another noteworthy example of growing environmental awareness and their website is at www.docksidegreen.ca We will let folks know when we find out when and where the show is aired. We are told that it will be seen in over 60 countries. Second Whitehall Spirit thoroughly enjoyed at Island home  A few years back Henry Wendt ordered a Whitehall Spirit 14 slide seat sailing model to be used as one of the tenders aboard his new yacht the Chinook Post. This 65 foot motor yacht is based on the classic Bill Garden design used a half century ago as a North Coast fisheries patrol vessel. The Chinook Post was duly launched with the Whitehall Spirit in chocks on the top deck. Both boats were enjoyed for several years cruising the coastal waters of the Pacific Northwest. Recently the Chinook Post was put up for sale and can be viewed at www.philbrooks.com and is advertised in Passagemaker Magazine. Last spring Henry ordered a second Whitehall Spirit 14 slide seat model for use at his waterfront home in Friday Harbor and sends along the following letter and photos. to read the love letter click here |
Recently the production staff of the CBC television show ‘The Nature of Things’ contacted us which led to world renown science broadcaster and environmentalist David Suzuki going out for a row in a Whitehall Spirit 14 slide seat model. This show was being shot to promote the ‘Leeds Standard’ development known as ‘Dockside Green’ that surrounds our production facility at 388 Harbour Road here in Victoria. The camera crew a few days later filmed the Whitehall wood shop and boats being built by our tradesmen. |
