Why Knot Marine Surplus
By Casper7819 April 02, 2018
This is a ONE man operation, what little crappy work he does on your boat you wouldn't know, because he doesn't answer the phone. $1300 later i get my boat, he swears it's working. Today i've taken the boat to a real mechanic, he said the person at Why Knot ( who swears boat was running) glued the magnets upside down to the fly wheel, now i need a new fly wheel because this one is useless, costing me an additional $1000. Thanks Why Knot Marine, for not only NOT answering my phone calls, but charging $1300 for nothing. ...read more

Each print also comes with an excerpt from Robert’s novelThe Forgotten Voyage of H.M.S. Baci. A fantastic saga in which multiple generations of the Roberts’ family explore the seven seas in search of the world’smermaidandmermanpopulation. Thus, you receive the passage from Robert’s novel describing the particular event in which the character(s) in the print were sighted. The following is the excerpt written for theSea Maiden 1 Ameliaprint: On December 26, 1831, Sir Edmund Roberts outfitted theH.M.S. Bacifor a naturalist’s circumnavigation of the globe. His primary and sole purpose was to observe and subsequently classify the various oceans’ diversity ofSea Maidensas he called them. Convinced that they existed outside of folklore, Sir Edmund was determined to systematically pursue them. “I’ll find them, for I am more patient than Job,” he loved to say. Roberts took with him two watercolorists schooled in botanical illustration. They were the first harvests of the voyages fantastic ill luck. Williams, the primary artist, perished in a gale just four days out of port. Bistro, his assistant, and a suspect romantic, lost his footing and fell to the sea one night while admiring the Baci’s figure head. Sir Edmund determined to learn the craft himself. Roberts completed his voyage in 1837. He had, however, become progressively more eccentric with each year at sea and was completely undone when hisSea Maidens– Notebooks and Observations was dismissed as “lunatic ravings in the company of obscene art.” Both the notebooks and the illustrations remained in obscurity until discovered in a London warehouse in 1998. Selected excerpts and paintings are to be released in succession. It should be noted that while Sir Edmund selected the Latin name for eachSea Maiden, he gave the honor of bestowing the common name to the seaman who first sighted her. Consequently, there followed a fool’s carnival of names with mothers and prostitutes predominating. Maidenus Magnifica “Amelia” February 18, 1832 Cape Verde Island Seen on a moonlit night by a member watering crew who strayed in the company of a bottle of rum. He Observed her for most of the night until he gathered sufficient sense to report to me. We watched her until the false dawn. Medium height. Medium weight. Dark hair. Could not identify the object of her preoccupation. Exultant with our first sighting so early in the voyage. ...read more

Sea Maiden 3 Becky with sailfish
Sea Maiden 3 Becky with sailfish by Robert Kline To purchase this print click here This beautiful Sea Maiden and sailfish illustration is from a collection of Sea Maidens (mermaids), Sea Babies (mermaid babies), Sea Masters (merman), pirates and fairies created by renowned artist and novelist Robert Kline of St. Augustine, Florida. The illustrations are from Robert's novel The Forgotten Voyage of H.M.S. Baci in which Edmund C. Roberts describes in his log, his various Sea Maiden, Sea Baby and Sea Master sightings. The following is the excerpt for this illustration: Edmund C. Roberts luxuriated in the blowing prop wash and the smell of burningcastor oil. He was off the coast ofSouth Americaand about 100 feet above the cold, gently rolling Pacific. TheBleriot XIaeroplane in which he flew was barely such, it being a fragile construct of sticks and wood and wire and rubberized cloth dragged forward by a wildly spinning engine (advanced engineering dictating that optimum performance was achieved by bolting the propeller to the engine and allowing the whole mess to twirl itself violently at the fore if the craft; thus providing the lightest and most oiled horsepower available in 1912. The aeroplane was loud, smelly and delicate, but it was his, and he was, indeed, flying. Which was the only time he was happy. On the ground he was haunted by memories of parental abandonment and his inability to tolerant female companionship for more than one phase of the moon. He detested children, large and small alike. If they were joyous he begrudged them their happy childhood and if not, they painfully reminded him of his own. Worse still, he wasn't even uncomfortable in the company of men. He found no solace in drink for he couldn't hold his alcohol and quickly became a whining, maudlin drunk. At sea he was usually sick, often green and unsteady, a constant friend of any available rail from whose safety he could cast into the vast ocean his last, churning meal. Even his sleep was fitful and plagued with bad dreams. Fortunately though, he was wealthy beyond words and therefore spared the crushing finale indignity of being miserable and poor. But aloft, as he maintained a respectful distance from those below, Edmund C. Roberts suckled the soft, fulfilling breast of the only peace he knew. He could fly when only a handful of others were able, and in that he reveled. A natural at the controls, Edmund C. coaxed airworthiness from his reluctant craft with a cautious, though unconscious ballet of hands and feet. His mind was free and happy, his spirits lifted at least as high as his body. Such was his state as he scanned the ocean below. Looking down was easily accomplished in aBleriot XI, for there was no floor and barely two feet of canvas at each side of his waist. He sat suspended in a tiny wicker basket of a chair, his downward view obstructed only by his own body and the tiny wheel at the top of the control stick. And what a view he had! The long swells were broken again and again by huge fish jumping from the depths and scores ofSea Maidensslowly surfacing and rolling about in a most sensual manner. Though a part of him wished to remain aloft, Edmund C. noted suitable landmarks on the shore and hurried back to theBaci Finale. His landing was short of disaster and within hours the wonderful ship steamed to the afore-observed bay. His diving apparatus was lowered and within moments the explorer had his fourth intimate observation of aSea Maiden. She wafted by in the company of a magnificentsailfish, he slowly circling her as she balanced in stasis, her wrists nearly crossed behind her."Indeed," Edmund muttered, for he had studies enough to know she was demonstrating her subservience to the will of nature, symbolically placing herself at the center of a dance whose direction she would never lead. His notebook reads:Maidenous subservus istiophorus "Becky" Sighted offGran Columbia, South AmericaAugust 23, 1912 ...read more
