Visiting Brooklin Boat Yard with Gary Jobson for Maine Built Boats

I love my job.

I recently visited Brooklin Boat Yard where Steve White and his crew are building a 90 foot custom yacht.  That’s Brooklin, Maine, not Brooklyn, New York.  And Steve White is the grandson of the great writer E.B. White, author of Charlotte’s Web and the Elements of Style, among many other great books and essays.

I was there with Gary Jobson who is a renowned sailing broadcaster and writer. He produced a video ‘vignette’ about Steve which is posted on our Web site as well as the Maine Built Boats’ site and even on YouTube.  This Social Media program is part of an overall strategic public relations program which Nancy Marshall Communications has developed for the North Star Alliance Market Development Pillar here in Maine to promote the boat building, composites and marine trades industries.

It’s fascinating work.
