The change of the coming season is visible at Beaton’s: the bubbler system has been put away, signs of owners can be seen around the yard and the Ospreys are back. The Silent Maid and the A-Cats are being prepped for the coming battles with lots of varnishing in evidence. Here are a few pics from the last few weeks:

Here’s John Haas, up from SP for a visit and Spyder’s freshly varnished transom. Even the wood shop’s being used for paint work.
…
Here’s the Silent Maid’s freshly varnished transom and newly painted and gold leafed name. The painter is a gentleman who’s been painting names at Beaton’s for decades. Fine hand.

Speaking of transoms, here’s Shadow, looking Beaton’s Fresh.

Ingrid Ann getting ready for the dock building season.

And we have signs of Spring at Ourhouse. Everything seems to have survived the Winter with the bulbs thriving. Bring it on.
Nice fire in the Sardine over on Facebook! There’s nothing like the smell of varnish and bottom paint in springtime. And the smell of napalm in the morning.
