Dunno. Didn't have the dog with us. He's a yellow Lab and ticks are easy to spot on him. I tried to check my wife over very closely for them, but she wasn't having any of it. My request for her to do the same to me was ignored.

I see that they were all looking in the opposite direction from Bucky.

Did that early this past summer. Exited the Canal heading for Cuttyhunk I. Forecast was for 10-15 W but it was 20-25 with higher gusts. Damn, that Buzzard's Bay chop got my pucker factor going for a couple of hours. Should've tucked into Onset, but didn't. The Pool at Cutthunk was a welcome relief.

Thanks. Great historical info.

Lol.

Door Number Two without the bright red. If you want reddish, perhaps something in a more earthy Terracotta tone to compliment the wood?

I think that Walt only allows bloodless, pre-cleaned fish on that beautiful deck. :D

X2. Although you may have to buy in quantity from them.

Its like, when I was a child, waiting forever for the mailman to deliver your secret decoder ring.

Spent 10 days on Cumberland Island a couple of years ago staying in a house owned by a friend of my wife. Interesting place to explore. Watch out for those nasty sand spurs.

We'll help you with that, if you're willing, come Jan & Feb.

Not on the coast of Maine. There are quite a number of boatyards and builders in Maine that have the craftsmen and expertise to not only maintain, but also to build new (which they are doing), traditional plank on frame or clinker boats of all sizes. And there are apprenticeship programs here...

Picture?

At the speed that that contraption seems to be moving, it might take hours to raise 150', /- of chain.

Headed your way Jan & Feb. Looking for something to do. Got any boat projects I can help you screw up?

If you belong to a yacht club of any sort, the Ida Lewis YC will rent you a mooring on a reciprocity basis (our dinky little Maine YC has no formal reciprocity policy, but it didn't matter when we were there over July 4th this summer) at a very reasonable rate that includes launch service and...

Ah, Jericho Bay, Maine. The home of a million lobster buoys. Nice looking boat.

Now you have me worried. Just topped up my Westerbeke 5.0 BCDB generator's expansion tank (which was empty due to broken tubing between it and the gen engine) with the Fleetguard anti freeze my boatyard says to use in my Cummins 6BTA. The container says "compatible with all coolants". Was not...

You've got both the boat disease and the cure.

For those of you who want a strong, environmentally friendly, and traditionally manufactured toilet paper (The Headmistress probably won't approve of its use in marine heads) there is this:

And, hopefully, the weather will be more benign for Lou than last attempt.

Define "late spring"

Pretty firm for 2 of us (plus dog if accommodations for him can be found).

Love our two drawer Vitrifrigo. It's been running 24/7 for 5 months/yr for a couple of years now (solar panels). Fit in the same space (with minor modifications) as our old Nevercold.

Disregarding the cost, would something like a Tesla Powerwall do it?
