Workin' on the chain gang...




Good Morning Everyone. A rainy but warm morning here on the Maine coast and the snow is going fast so get out there and build your last snow fort while you can. The new crew put in a full day yesterday sanding the yawl boat inside and out in the morning and installing new mooring chains on the beach in the afternoon. Moving 125’ of 1 1/4 “ mooring chain across the beach was a good first team building event. And who should appear like magic but Jim Dugan, our web guru, clicking camera in one hand, dragging mooring chain with the other. Thanks Jim, for the hand and the photos.

Have a great 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.

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

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.
