must remember to remove shoes before going on the boat. There's enough bird doodoo and tree debris without tracking the garden in too.
| This morning I'm planting peas and spinach (late!) At lunch I'll sit on the after-deck and enjoy the view of the garden and fields beyond. |
|
| We named the boat tonight. Broke a plastic bag of boxed California white across her bow and dubbed her the "Sand Witch." |
|
| hauling a cooler into the cabin of the Sand Witch. May sleep in her overnight. |
|
| rick rolled by StephenTColbert... should have known |
|
| Boat crushed a perennial bed. RIP fritillaries. Beth is not pleased. I thought storing it on the east end of the barn made sense. FAIL |
|
| oops, found out that when I crank up the 30 watt Raytheon 430 fog horns I scare the neighbor's horses. Going easy on that for a while. |
|
| @bmo reeally difficult. st. lawrence seaway, or Illinois Waterway to the Mississippi (then across to FLA). Lots of open sea either way |
|
| @bmo twin 320hp Detroit Diesels. |
|
| testing, testing... yup, the laptop works from the main cabin |
|
| Wonder if I can get to my WiFi from down by the barn on the boat in its cradle? |
|
| Rainy day. Perfect for working inside on the boat! |
|
| beth doesn't like boats much. |
|
| sigh, now I get it about a boat being a hole in the water that you pour money into. you wouldn't believe the cost of a berth in door county |
|
| What a nice day for a cruise! To bad the boat is in a cradle down by the barn. |
|
| I'll get some writing done this summer though! I should get a typewriter to go with the Chris Craft |
|
| talk about an impulsive buy! guy in Tennessee had a 57 foot boat and I needed it bad. should have known it was too big to be practical here |
|
| think I'll trailer it over to Lake Michigan and see about getting a berth in Manitowoc or Two Rivers |
|
| drat, former owner says 44" draft, who can I believe? And this teak deck isn't as cool as I thought would be... sanding is hard work! |
|
| My mistake!! It's only a 37 inch draft! we are gonna do some cruising now |
