Paint...finally

Good morning everyone. We have another snowstorm on the way for this afternoon and tonight. They say there is another storm on the way for Sunday as well. Today we will focus our efforts here at the global headquarters. Like squirrels gathering nuts we will be busy, busy. We will be shifting projects, small boats, blocks, and davits, indoors and out

Yesterday was sunny and we were able to put the paint and varnish to a number of items aboard. The crew did a great job painting window frames and hatch combings. Mary’s touch with the varnish brush added to the sparkle. Jen and Mary will be varnishing the main cabin sole today.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...

A Beautiful Sight

By
During one of our 6 day cruises in July 2010 I was up early one morning and caught a neat reflection of this good looking schooner in Great Cove off Brooklin, Maine. It is one of the loveliest schooners with a graceful sweeping sheer that goes on forever and lovely douglas fir spars that receive a good scraping and slushing every fall. I am a sucker for a beautiful windjammer. OK, you schooner experts out there. Which windjammer is it? Have a great day. Be well. Do good.
