Trip To The Jersey Shore

[Tony G]

A tragedy for sure.  Throwing away boats is a sign of greater problems..

[ebb]

Trying to remember a bon mot I'm sure I've seen here.
Something like:  On Judgment Day, standing before St Peter
with the book open to the page of your life...
time spent sailing your boat won't be counted against you.

So I'm thinking, along with Tony,  what has that S.O.B. hauling
 Cuba Libre
off to the landfill
to look forward to?

Scrap lead is worth 15 cents a pound.  So he ruined a couple
chainsaw blades gutting the poor Commander, plus the blood
he must have sweated,  just to drop that half ton of ballast
out on the ground... for $375.

For we suffer fools gladly seeing we ourselves are wise.
Corinthians 11:19

Here's a quick update on my S-Boat project.  The boat was brought down to the New York City area from Newport RI this past fall.  I've been able to spent my weekends installing into the hull 66 new steamed ribs, finished reframing two weeks ago.  Now I'm making all new floor timbers, over half of the 34 completed so far.  In the next few months I hope to have the entire backbone of the hull completed and keel refastened.  Ben
