Beached Boat in a Southwest Harbor Cove

This is the fifth photograph in a series of six depicting the practice of beaching boats for maintenance in a group. Paul Stubing indicated that this group was a "big Club" which you had to be invited into or born into. In this picture the boat with hull id# 1K140 is visible. There is a man painting the bow. He is holding a paint brush and a can of paint. Ralph Stanley thinks that this boat is Paul Faulkingham's and he is the person painting the bow.
