No photos, of course - but - when my dad's 25' catamaran (called the "PapeToeTane" - no lie!) was in the back yard of our home in Venice, she had a small wooden Tahitian tiki on the cross-beam bow. When I was 5 or 6 years old - I used to make these little tiki masks out of mud, with white-rocks (blown off from the roof and from our garden) for eyes, nose and mouth. Pretty primitive, but it was probably what started all of this craziness in my life!
