Un visitante de la Niña.

What a surprise to look out my window and see a square rig vessel on Lake Union. Moments later I received an e-mail from the Center for Wooden Boats with the haps.

It was a replica of La Niña, one of the sailing vessels used by Christopher Columbus. This boat was hand built in Brazil using methods of the 15th century.

Steerage is with a large tiller. The steering "wheel" for the helm had not yet been invented. Only the captain had a berth below deck. All other hands slept on the open deck.

Gracias por el visitante!

Jorge's guitar playing is featured on the new CD "Fighting to be Last" by Brad Yaeger.

Got some clean sounds and a solid backing rhythm guitar for Brad. Even have a few solos in there.

Take a listen...

The Mask Of Zorro

Hi there and Welcome to the Blog!

St. Helens is really popping today. Those dang-blasted pagers kept going
off all night long. The paging system on my Nokia really sucks big time.
It's hard to delete the messages fast enought. Lots of earthquakes at Mt.
St. Helens. Mostly tectonic, no harmonic tremor.

Don't forget to check out my show at the Penny Cafe on October 29!
