We live on the 'Phoenix'. A 60' ferro-cement vessel that will eventually have a Gaff rigged tops'l Schooner rig. (background image is the sail plan).
A video of the Phoenix underway in San Juan Channel (not juan de fuca) is posted in my favorites.

I am presently working on sewing the sails, fabricating the chainplates, deadeyes, and spars for my ship. I plan on documenting my progress.

February 23rd thru february 29 I helped with the delivery of a vessel from panama to aruba. I have bits and pieces of the trip split into several videos in the caribbean.

P.S. I am not an airplane pilot. I was a passenger with Iris. 'Iris landing' and 'Iris flying with earmuffs' are the first and second time she ever flew in a small plane. She was 5 months and 12 months old respectively.
The reason I call myself captain kruse is because I have a 50 ton masters license with towing and sailing endorsement. This is issued by the us coast guard. It enables me to take on passengers for hire.

	marionwings (6 days ago) Hello from Germany! Found the first vidoe of you when looking for "Sequim", since that will be my future home - eventually. I am involved in building airplanes, but watching your videos I almost feel like building a ship! And Iris... well, she is just gorgeous! :-) Marion
	zippyman818 (3 weeks ago) Thank you for all of your videos, they brighten the world just a little bit at a time.
	Miatintin (1 month ago) Olá, Captain & Iris! We have a new Peters, here in Ribeira do Porto! Of course the original Peters ( Azores) is the one;) Hope you're doing great:)
	tootnbarb (1 month ago) Just stopping by Capt'n Jim to see how you, Irish and the ship building are going. And to wish you well.
	peignoir91 (1 month ago) Hallo Captain Kruse, How are you and Iris doing? I saw some videos on your website of the Schooner. Youre doing a great job and got my respect for making such a great ship! I like it when someone is working with his brains and hands when they creating the most beautiful projects! Did Iris learn how to sow a sail already? Haha! Kind regards, Marjon, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
