I agree with pear, although holly bends very well also. -
Whoops - a bark she is. A brig she was. Thank you for the correction. Frolick!

I can't dis-boot that point, Carl.

Definitely a Victorian era brig.

it's time to give us all the boot!

Wood it fit?

Keith needs a lacey-faire attitude, I think. Then he can tie up safely.

Hopefully there are some nearby eyelets to swim over to.
