Blue Springs Marina Take A Hit




50 mph winds hit the marina and pushed most docks way whack.


This used to be a straight shot all the way to the end of the docks, maybe 200 ft.

Little C-Dock [oldest] Takes The Biggest Hit



Only one boat took some damage during the whole thing. A piece of this dock punctured [above waterline] a boat named "Little Miss Magic".

Attempted Virtual Tour Failure

The tour of the house video was to large to upload onto blogger.
The video itself is awesome, came out very clear. We would never put it on the web.
Maybe in an e-mail.
Lets try this compact video of Malihini.

Many Layered Sunday...Inside+Outside...Catch Us While You Can




We went for a boat cleaning today.
These covered docks are great for the woodwork, but they also breed
some healthy spiders. Everyone in these marinas, has to spend some of their dock time
ridding their boats of the spider poop. We did a good hour wash scrubing and rinsing
because we been to long away from her.[3 weeks]
But then we went for an hour cruise, and all was better, much better!

Sliding Windows Stopped Sliding Years Ago


Must fix three windows at this session,
then two more after I put new sole [floors] in a 28 ft sailboat and finish varnish on that trawler that I'm waiting for the marina to put under cover from this relentless sun.

All the black must be cut and scraped away.



The Trawler With Four Coats On Transome


Transome and eyebrow [skinny piece near top of boat] need two more coats, the rest just one good one.

" The Glass Post " + "The Floating Post" But We'll Call This, "The Printed Pages"



Bic wrote this letter [e-mail] awhile back,
sent it to Stained Glass News. Yup they printed it!
How could they not? It pulls a tear from your eyes.
She made this piece after we sold Caprifol and settled into Quissett Harbor.
