Bugs on a Boat

Posted by Charlotte Wiggs on May 10, 2012 at 7:19pm 2 Comments

Here I am...congratulating myself about my very "clever" alliterative blog titles lately...YAY ME!!

Out to the Owl this weekend.  Will be preparing for a short cruise in two weeks.  Excited about that...BUT...

 

I have roaches!  And I don't leave any food onboard most weeks.  However, the owner before me lived on her too, and I would guess they are into their 200th generation or something.

REFITS AND BREAKAGE....AND CRUISING!!!!!

Posted by zeehag on May 8, 2012 at 10:00am 0 Comments

not mine, as i do my own work ....someone else does your refitting--you go to sea. it breaks..WHAT YE GONNA DO-- call someone while out there or do it yourself--or will ye make  the trip  return to where it was done and gripe about it not working??   seems to me many do the  latter bit--go back into the original port many miles backsliding from their destination to have original  do-er   redo the work. is ridiculous....why not do it yourself so it is done to your own…

Lite winds but still got her up to 6 knots

Posted by John V. G. Mayton on May 1, 2012 at 9:42am 0 Comments

I got busy with boat projects such as working on the stern light, and attempting to cut some bolts on the dinghy with a dremel,…

Lazy Summer Sailing, Reading & Drinking....

Posted by Charlotte Wiggs on May 3, 2012 at 7:00pm 2 Comments

So, I am reading Tom Sawyer for about the umpteeth time this week.  What a fabulously great summer book!  Mark Twain was a GREAT writer, and Tom…

Who'd a Thunk?

Posted by Marlene Anne Sassaman on April 25, 2012 at 8:38pm 0 Comments

Sailors playing volleyball! Who'd a Thunk? So, here I am practicing sporadic unplanned movements once, twice and sometimes three times a week with a group of folks belonging to a recreational meet up. Years ago I attended a beach volleyball clinic and though I enjoyed the 4 hour instruction I was too busy surfing and sailing to get serious about ball whacking. Previous to that I tried a more serious team approach in college but my skills kept me on the bench during the first two games so…
