Windjammer Ice Scupltures

Good morning everyone. Below normal temps again this morning but the promise of a warm sunny day; temperature is forecasted to soar right up in to the 20s today. A friend left 2 snowmobiles in the yard a few years ago and we fired them up yesterday for a ride around the field. Sawyer and Courtney loved it. “Mama, daddy, can we do it again.”
Yes, Jen jumps right onto the snowmobiles just a quick as I do. Go Mama. Today Sawyer has his first big ski race at the Camden Snow Bowl.

There is a winter festival in the Harbor Park in Camden this weekend. I was marveling at the sculptures in the amphitheater. On display for all to see were these crystal clear hand carved ice statues. After admiring what the human hand can so delicately create I went out to check the schooner. All dry in the bilges. Cover in tact. Harbor froze over out to the yacht club. As I walked back up the beach from the schooner I couldn’t help but notice the ice sculptures on the beach created by a different hand.

Enjoy this beautiful day. Be well. Do good.

My heart is heavy with sadness as I write this particular blog. Since the beginning of August our dear friend and cook for the last 12 years, Mary Barney, had been struggling with cancer.

Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. 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.
