A snowman oversees the boats at Sailcraft Services. That is a stony gaze — the eyes are gravel from the yard. Laurie Sampson adds that the snowman is all recycled: “The smile is a piece of wire in white plastic with the coating cut off, one arm is a paperclip and the other is a short piece of twisted wire.”Photo: Laurie Sampson.
