http://capt-doug.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Sailing and Paddling with Doug. Wednesday, January 28, 2015. There are always a thousand little things to finish at the end. I still have to enclose the area where the line comes into the cabin from the centerboard trunk (to keep the cabin dry, yet still have access) and I am building a mount for the aft nav light on the transom so that we aren't blinded at the helm. 38 days until the 2015 Everglades Challenge. Painted and varnished the cabin. Added gimbaled stove and tube for the end of the oars. Sailin...

Sailing and Paddling with Doug: January 2013
http://capt-doug.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Sailing and Paddling with Doug. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. Celebrations for a Grey day. I was paddling on Tims Ford this afternoon in a light rain with mist on the lake. It made me think of Mimi and Dick Farina's Celebrations for a Grey Day. Dick was one of the most accomplished Appalachian dulcimer players of all times. I saw him play with Joan Collins in a little club in Boston in 1965. He died in a motorcycle accident the next spring. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Celebrations for a Grey day.
