The boat building world lost a good one over the weekend....

That's sad for everybody but him I guess. As one of my guide buddies always says,"He decided".

Is it just me or does this piece cast a decidedly sinister tone to the mention of firearms?
 
He certainly was one of the biggys in the boat building community. When looking at boat building projects there are always references to Phil Bolger.
 
Thanks Nate,
Phil was one of my dads favorites. I spent many days reading his articles as a boy.
I am sure many will debate his choice but it was his to make.
Anyone who has spent time with loved ones in the end knows not to judge.
God bless his family and friends in this time of loss.
His egg harbor work was classic.


As was the glouster gull.
 
Thanks for the post Nate,

The world of boating is a lesser place due to his passing. I hope he now rests in that "spiritual house not made with hands,eternal in the heavens".

I suspect there will be quite a bit said about Phil at the Wooden Boat Show this year at Mystic and I hope to be there and see and hear it.

As my Dad would say, "He had a great run".

Sail on Phil,
Harry
 
Denny,
To answer your question "I wonder why the police department felt justified to confiscate all of the guns"? It's because its Massachusetts, land of very tight gun control laws. You need a permit to own a firearm of any type in MA and if his wife doesn't have a permit, the guns are confiscated period. If she wants to go through the hassle of getting her own permit they will be returned. If he has an heir with an appropriate permit level, they can probably go through probate and be passed on to the permit holder after any appropriate tax is paid.[font=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica]
