And during the storm

Up to the minute newa coverage from New York.

The formulation of a lot of products tends to change over time because of VOC regulations and such.

This product mentions being suitable for wood decks. You might want to call ask how slippery it is.

I don't see how the Princess could be further improved, but you'll think of something

Queen of the Fleet I tell 'ya...Queen of the Fleet

Hi Greg

I'm in the back on one of those pictures

Ebb is right, H & L is the place to go. They still don't have a website I believe.

I like the tiller design from the Manual. It might be improved if the handhold end drooped down so it was a bit flatter

Edit: I found another thread on tillers -- [now merged with this thread, Moderator]

Hello again my friends!

I have to admit that I've also put my boat on the rocks at City Island.

Next year I'll have to come over for a visit

Welcome Patrick,

It seems that Don Morrison won the Class Championship Trophy 20 times in 30 years on Jubilee. Quite a record.

A fine boat that I'm sure will make you happy.

Cheers,

Peter

Lighthouse with sundog

That incident with the sail was a bit harrowing.

Trying to paddle a kayak into that storm was real difficult. As I got closer to the boat, the genoa sheets got hung up. The sail filled and the boat took off. She would blast along to the end of the anchor rode, tack around and careen back the other way.

Now I had to avoid getting run down by my own boat and pick a spot to intercept the ghost ship. Got dragged alongside a bit before I could clamber aboard. Quite an adventure.

I was glad the anchor held and the boat didn't end up on the beach somewhere.

Speaking of the Lighthouse, its getting a new look. They're putting a building for displays, including the original 1858 First Order Fresnel lens.  Have to see how the construction turns out.

Coming and going
