    Love your art! I used to live in Satellite Beach in the early sixties, surfing Sebastian Inlet and Cocoa Beach pier. I was a lifeguard for a summer at PAFB officer's club -- only surfers there because of the coquina rock instead of sand. Paul

    Derek - you are an eager beaver. I had your friend request before CAN DRAK let me onto the site. You don't even know me, but incredibly I too am a nautical artist!! I use chalk though. What are the odds? I posted my latest work on my wall of fame - have a look.

    Hi Derek,
    Lovely paintings. Good luck with them. Unfortunately I will need miniatures to fit on my boat. I am currently trying to decorate with my own small photographs. (very little bulkhead space.) I have been trying to convert my books to CD's or some electronic book reader. Electronic picture frames might work, but I have very little power on my boat. But, thanks for contacting me. Do you get out to sea?

    Hello Derek, Just had a quick look at some of your paintings. Brilliant! I am new to watercolour. Decided to give it a go after about a 30yr. layoff from oil painting. Bit tricky, but fun.

    Hi Derek,
    I am soon to be retired after 38 1/2 years. I got drafted in 71, entered basic at FT Ord in 72. Been to Iraq twice,Mosul region, and Afghaniatan once, was pretty much from end to the other there. My body is shot, my mind is burnt out, I am definately ready for setting the clock to Island Time. Maybe we will get a chance to hook up on my way down. Leaving around 9 Oct down the ICW, I have 30 days leave to get to southern florida. I'll plan on spending a night there on the way down. Jeff
