Last year, summer 2003, I put in a new nautical vignette. My favorite vacation is going to the Outer Banks or the Gulf Coast of Florida taking long walks on the beach. I felt I had to do a tribute to the ocean with this vignette. I had a local craftsman make the rustic sailboat to complete my vignette. With all the rain we had last summer, I feared my little sailboat would go afloat and be washed away.
