| The next day (July 16) we go visiting. First we visit Norman Iverson, legendary boat builder and probably Malcolm's favourite person; certainly he spoke with more warmth and admiration of Norman than of anyone else we can remember. We find Mr Iverson in his workshop building a Whitehall rowboat; we bring him some Full Moon wine and talk to him a while about Malcolm's Digby Island days. He's a most pleasant man, soft-spoken and almost alarmingly competent; the big boatshed in which we stand he built with his own hands, and not all that long ago. From that visit we walk back down the road to find the new owner of the old Wahl yard (shown here). |
