Boat pictures that don’t cockle in the damp

Drew is a long standing KTLer. I followed up his email address to find that he runs a pretty successful ebay shop

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Draycott-Gifts

where he puts pictures onto mugs, mousemats and metal plates. Lily M had some pictures on the wall of people sitting in beach huts. They looked perfect against the curtains..... but herself decided that they made the cabin feel a bit like the inside of a beach hut so I thought I would ask Drew to put an image on a mousemat and see how it turned out.

 

The answer is..... pretty good.

 

According to herself I have used the wrong image because it does not match the curtains ... of course I did

 

but here they are anyway

    Is there a way to contact Drew without going through all the ebay crap? Or possibly you could forward my email address to him?

    now that is a very big question

    I suggest replace the curtains…or better, get rid of them entirely. Do they really belong on boats :-)

    Since you can look out the ports or from the cockpit to see first hand marine scenes, how about some Alpine or desert or jungle scenes?

    They will be great reminders of your sailing past and eventual home?
    I’m sure there are a couple of smacks painted the perfect colors to match the fabrics…..
