On the way to Clark\'s Island

We took at 62 mile cruise today -- from Onset, MA to Clark's Island (near the Plymouth town center) and back. On board were Sherry, Keelin, Sherry's sister Eileen, Eileen's daughter Jen and Jen's daughter Iona, along with the two beagles, Little Bit and Corky. We made our first trip through...

Congratulations Jim and Joan! Beautiful boat and lots of good times are in store for you I'm sure. But you don't look old enough to be retired . . . Norma Scogin

Yes, when we bought the boat, then 28 years old, it still had the original flag sail. (I think the boat had been stored quite a bit over the years.) We had to replace it a couple of years later, but of course kept the old one. I've been meaning to hang it on the rec room wall. The Down Easter...

We just gave up our Hereshoff America 18 foot cat boat when we bought the C-Dory. But we sold it to a family member for a nominal amount and an agreement to sell if back to us if we ever want it! On Saturday we took delivery of a 50 year old Down Easter sailing dinghy so I can get my sailing...

I came out 86% Dixie, which makes sense -- most of my formative years were spent in Alabama and Texas and almost all my relatives are in the deep south. Byrdman, can you top that score? Norma

We will keep our boat on a mooring in front of our vacation home on Buzzards Bay, just as we did the sailboat. Like you, we have no need or desire to take the boat anywhere we can't get to by water from the mooring. We'll put it in the water at the beginning of the season, take it out for...

Great thread, Bob. I first came to this site looking for info on the new Tom Cat and you offered me a ride on yours. We ended up buying a new 22 instead. We're new to power boating and still need to sort out how much we'll use a boat, but the Tom Cat is still of great interest to us. So far...

Nice boat, Jim. I know what you mean. My brother-in-law calls sailboats channel cloggers; we used to call power boats stink pots. Both shots are lovely, as are both boats, each in her own way. Norma

Weather on the way to the Chesapeake Bay Gathering

I forgot to add that I've been studying Chapman's Piloting and pored over the weather section Saturday morning during the final planning phase. It's a great reference tool. Norma
