Hi Jeff, I downloaded the free copy of Wagonners a couple of months ago and have gradually been making my way through it. Although we have extensive cruising experience (by sail), we've never been to the PNW so it's all new. I'm thinking of starting a thread here that goes something like: "If...

Yes, we'been studying pictures of that boat for cues. The trick is how to do it in a way that "works" rather than a way that "assaults". It can be done, but it's tricky.

Color Palette The wife here, enjoying the conversation from afar. For those of you who are interested in the context of all this, here's a pic of the different materials we are currently working with for upholstery, pillows, coverlets, curtains, countertops, hull and wood finishes. The hull...

Bruce will bean me for this, but I can't help myself. This week we said good-bye to our current boat, a Sabre 386. I always have a difficult time 'moving on', whether it's a car, a boat or a house, but this one was especially tough since we're not just moving to another boat, but from sail to...

Here's a link to a photo album of the boat: https://goo.gl/photos/Gc35T5uU7AKVWbKM6

Sorry! $272,900. I just edited it into the post.

My parents have listed their Willard 40 for sale. It is clean and well cared for, in nice condition, and is currently in inside storage in Rhode Island. This is an excellent cruising platform, well-built with quality construction and attention to detail throughout, a great pedigree and strong...

Welcome to the club. Two days ago I was five months into my new Total Shoulder. The first few months are pretty rough. The best advice I can give you is to take the physical therapy very, very seriously and do it all. It's not pleasant. Don't give up. It will get better, you will regain...

Bruce B has a very amenable wife factor. :angel:

Raymond, Maine. You don't miss a thing! I completely agree with everything you said. We used to take batches of cookies and other goodies with us on our trips to see the current boat, and our visits really did have an impact on the men and women in the trenches. We also set up a web site up...

On another topic of building a new boat... When we built our current boat, we lived only a few hours away here on the East Coast so we popped in every few weeks to monitor progress and document the build with pictures. This time, we live in New England and the boat is being built at Tomco in...

When we lost our last dog, the house was painfully empty. I needed time - a month? several months? to process the grief. Bruce couldn't handle it, and within a week he had located a new puppy and we were bringing him home. I did not want to do it, but we did. It was hard: caring for an...

I'm so very sorry to hear about Daisy. Losing a pet is one of the hardest things on the planet to go through. It sounds like she lived life to the fullest - a testament to the care and love you gave her over her very long run. I can guess that knowing she is now free of the pain and struggle...

Pepper and Mattie are excited to be back in Block Island for the first time this year.

Nick14, I agree with pretty much everything you said. Try telling that to your 83-year-old-Yankee-parents. :eek:

Yes, I have a little DJI Phantom. Nothing fancy, just for fun. And it is fun!

I did a little aerial video of the boat this morning and posted it on YouTube. Nothing fancy, but shows a little more of the boat. My parents will be sad to see her go, but the time has come.
