Book 1 – Page 4: A peek at production.
This is a different boat than the one that Tam and Kay started out with. Some features are gone, but they have added a few.
Keen observers will notice that I am putting a bit more detail into the interior than I used to. Kay picked an Island Packet 35 for a lot of reasons. It’s a much better cruising sailor than the Columbia 40 he had with a better underway layout and better sea berths. Another major feature is that it is very well photographed and I am able to find reference photos for every single aspect of this particular boat from a large number of angles. Totally a critical feature for the sailor who is going to be rendered in a comic. The lack of interior reference for the Columbia 40 left me trying to make up a fair amount of stuff which took tremendous effort with dubious results. I much prefer accuracy. The second half of this page takes place in the fore cabin, which has sacrificed its beds for Tam’s production facilities. Those will be described more later.
Kay: Going ashore, what have you got for me?
Tam: Chamber three is complete.
Kay: What's with you starting to try to surprise me
Kay: A SIM card?!
Kay: You spent two whole days making just one sim card?
Tam: You should find it useful.
Kay: What? Does it make calls for me?
Tam: Yes.
