D. B. Barrymore

Does this need any explanation tonight….. 🧟‍♂️

Except of an interview with Dolores Costello from a local newspaper in 1969 about John Barrymore. Well there it is girls, so when a guy asks you to marry him…tell him No! That way you’ll keep on being a challenge for him!!

Where can I stick this? #sailing

Thar she blows tis the Barrymore Serpent

Looking forward to raising my own private signal in a few days time and calling it 'The Barrymore Serpent Rises' in a special ceremony..... #flyingtheflag #sailing #yacht

Wish you were here to share my misery.

Flying the Newport Harbor Yacht Club Burgee at half mast for John Barrymore who was once a member ⛵️🇺🇸

Double bill time with Arsene Lupin as ‘I was riding a pink octopus in a bad hailstorm’

A nice take it easy rest day I think is in order and time to unwind with my favorite #silentfilm #filmsky #johnbarrymore #tempest

This is the 2nd coat of anti slip paint which went on yesterday. So, after nearly a week of preparation from all the scrubbing, sanding, dusting, more washing, protecting the no paint areas with blue tape, the first coat of paint.......I ACHE! #gettingtoooldforthisjob #sailing

A vintage open-air bar on Newport Harbor has a lot of dark-stained wood.

I recall so clearly a Friday afternoon when I met friends for drinks at Billy’s in Newport Beach. Someone, arriving late, said: ‘Have you heard about this Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae business?’ I didn’t work in real estate like most of them and it just sounded […]

I’ll hoist the yacht club burgee so you’ll know!

“When is Barrymore ever on a boat to get seasick🤮 “

Kelly Goodner guessed wrong 😑 as this was in fact John Barrymore’s totem pole! Spawn of the North audio commentary released on Indicator Blu-ray

Arh the John Barrymore totem pole story of 1931 as told by Kelly Goodner…. 👀

Can someone help please and identify what type of fishing flies these are? Probably dates back to late 20’s or early 30’s and is of sentimental value in more ways than one! The original owner loved to 🐠 …. #johnbarrymore #fishing

A long weekend free of boat jobs and looking forward to watching this new release on blu-ray tonight #alaska #filmsky

Good little buy at a local 2nd hand store this electric portable sewing machine for £5! Made 4 new curtains for my yacht in under 2 hours! Can’t wait to hang them up tomorrow.

This will probably look shit on camera but applied a coat of toplac plus paint on the cockpit lockers. ⛵️

Is it this varnish you refer to ? I think they're both the same but different labels. I saw a pic of a varnished flag pole using Coelan and again it looked beautiful.....but 12 coats? Thanks for the tips on the brushes. I usually discard after use anyway.

Very nice. I've been using International Compass. What exactly did you use? Transparant gloss? Any Color paste? Might try some.

Time for another vanilla latte on top of my yacht deck whilst waiting for paint to dry inside the cockpit! Good job it’s not pissing down with rain #aprilshowers

In between coats of varnish is a vanilla latte waiting

Today’s Alaska maritime weather mirroring my mental state suspiciously so …👀 🌊
#alaskasky #mariner #ocean

Digital painting of a sailboat battling stormy seas under a dark, turbulent sky. The ocean is rough with choppy waves and white foam, painted in deep blues and grays. The boat leans sharply with its sail stretched tight in the wind, showing struggle and resilience. The scene feels raw, intense, and honest, capturing the harsh reality of sailing through a storm.

Sailing isn’t always sunsets and salt-kissed skin.

Sometimes it’s tangled ropes, sore hands, and bad weather.
Sometimes it’s frustration, exhaustion, and wondering why you even bothered.

But you still show up.
Because even when it’s hard, it’s yours.

Things to do while you wait for your Vanilla Latte to cool down? Quickly stipple brush a coat of anti slip paint in your yacht cockpit!

So this is what a few years of Lionel Barrymore eating too much French food looked like?

Perhaps it might help to think in terms of examples: Dobbin is an (a fine) example of (the property of) being a horse.

Requests White Horses by Jackie for some reason. #ptop

By the way, no mention at all about 'Mariner' but is still a very enjoyable documentary film which I was totally engrossed in from start to finish! Highly recommended to all who loves #sailing and beautiful #yachts #schooners #yawls from days gone by. Also the dramatic stories behind some races...
