Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Ron, Welcome to the group. You will enjoy sailing. Now is the time to be sailing not rehabbing or updating. We leave a clipboard in the cabin and all season long we make notes of things that need to be changed or fixed so when I pull her out…"
Jim Ashworth's blog post was featuredAnew sailing year
Another year has passed. We were one of the lucky ones who took their boat away from the shore the Saturday before sandy hit. We brought her home to sit the winter out in the back yard. I hope we get some nice weather so I can get some work done on her before the season comes. I will keep everyone posted as we progress.

A short clip of Keyport Harbor and the preparation of laying out the mooring balls.
Jim Ashworth posted a videoI sit down along the bay thinking about the coming season and how much we really enjoy ourselves on our boat sitting out on the water. This short video is the Keyport mooring field which is usually full of sailboats. There is nothing, not even a boat in site. Sure it is depressing now, but in a couple of months, it will be a different story. After the season gets going, this area will be full of sailboats. All of us with that million dollar view. The video ends on the Keyort Yacht Club dock.

Jim Ashworth replied to Jim Ashworth's discussion Finding treasure in the group Everything Pirates"This past summer I continued the search. I was finally able to find the small island off Treasure Lake which is not an island any longer. There is an area that on an extremely low tide may become an island. We call this a sand bar…"
Jim Ashworth replied to Andrea's discussion How did you name your boat?"We named our boat Lil Provo. We have traveled the Caribbean for years trying to find that perfect little island. Our favorite place is Grace Bay on Providenciales. On the island they refer to it as Provo. Providenciales is…"
Jim Ashworth posted a status"August 28, 2011 we were hit by hurricane Irene. Our home and business were both flooded. Lil Provo made it through without a hitch."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"We have a '78 22' with shoal keel. So it sounds like the deck to you as well. I guess I'll have to try to find someone that can go below with a wrench, while I unscrew things from above.
Thank you."
Jim Ashworth commented on SeaKnots's group O'Day Corner"Oday Owners Help- While sailing I have been having some water end up on the cabin sole. I open the inspection opening to the bilge and it has minimal water. What would cause water to come in while sailing and high enough to only make it…"

Carien du Plooy said… Hi! Thanks for the friend invite. Seems that NJ has quite a few sailors. I'm currently still living in London, UK, but hopefully (fingers crossed) I'll be in the States (Jersey City) for good by the end of summer 2011. Have you got any nice plans for Xmas?

Only in the Dominican Republic have I experienced the challenge of driving in an easterly direction on the shoulder of the west bound lane. This occurs where Highway #5 from Semana merges with Hwy #3 to Punta Cana. …See More

When you come to the fork in the road.....
It was an adventurous, albeit cultural experience as my friend Linda Rincones and I drove from Punta Cana to Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Initially we traveled west toward Boca Chico where we approached our first fork in the road. Confidentially we chose the wrong prong. After a ten kilometer cruise we took a gander through a neighborhood which luckily led us back to the correct prong. A few hours later we approached three more forks. We took each one in stride appreciating our…See More
