Just Crazy

Be patient while these two short videos download. Here is a low quality video taken with my cell phone while standing up on the hill in the park overlooking the inner harbor. Holding the phone steady was a challenge as you can hear the wind just blowing. One small schooner parted her bowline about an hour after I first posted this. I lent a hand while the vessel's owner and the harbormaster struggled in a small skiff with an outboard to set things back in order.

And here is the view from the launching ramp.

The rock in the foreground started the morning at the bottom of the concrete walk on the right, and yes my feet got wet when the wash from the first wave rolled up to my truck tires.

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.

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.
