Berth progress

Managed to put in a few hours yesterday and assembled the berth. Still need to make the facing piece. Christened it with my first nap. Works just fine. I’ll have some pics of the completed project next weekend.


Tools
Nice working on this project with a crackling stove at my elbow.


Breakfast's ready
And nice working with a hot breakfast at the sizzle.


Here are some pics from last Sunday’s sail. Very light breeze, thin overcast, temps in the 40s.

Ready
At the ready. Unusually high water for November. Probably due to the Northeaster that lingered for the previous few days, piling up water in the New York Bight.


Breeze?
Calm in the Pond; a bit of air out on the Bay.


Just enough breeze
Just enough breeze to tack back to the dock.


Winter position
Winter position. This time of year I turn around Sjogin so the sun warms the cockpit and shines in the cabin when the drop board’s out.

  1. Russ: Glad to hear the berth “works”! With a fire in the stove and one page of a book having been read, I’d be snoring to beat the band. Hope to see you soon.

  2. Ninety-nine comments on Sjogin so far, ninety-nine comments so far! Log on one more time, come up with a rhyme, one hundred comments on Sjogin so far! Where’s my designated rhymer?
