Putting a perspective on things

[Metabarca]

Given the recent heating up of this forum and deviation into areas non-nautical, I thought some of you might enjoy checking out the site below. Wood/plastic, Bav/Jen, 20'/50' issues bother you? Get back to basics and remember that the one common feature we share is barminess: where's the sense in enjoying spending serious money getting wet and uncomfortable?! The chap in this site takes some beating, though: crossing the Pacific in a 19' boat made from recycled beer barrels! (What happened to the beer, I wonder?!).

Not beer, whiskey!

Fascinating stuff, oak plywood made from over 100 whiskey barrels.

And the boat looks quite sweet as well (bet it smells good!)
