Managed to get out for a sail last week and made it Reedy Creek, all of a mile or so from Beaton’s. Once reached I hove too for an hour for lunch and more Tilman adventures near K2.
Here are a few pics and videos from the sail:
…
As far as I can tell, this is the only Osprey next on their preferred foundation. It’s just north of Reedy Creek.
…
Sailing past the Oyster Farm. The floats are attached to cages which are full of happy Oysters.
…
Here the cars are upside down and empty of Oysters. The farmers do this to dry and remove the usual growth of grasses and such.
…
The Sloop Point platform has a pair of young Osprey almost ready to fly.
…
Beating out of Jones Tide Pond with Juniors to weather.
…
The nest across Stockton Lake from us has three little ones with the largest itching to fly.
Russ, Great site you have here. I’m in Sussex county NJ. I’m a traditionalists with wooden boats. I restore small boats and canoes in my shop here. Every few years I bring some to The Tom’s river wooden boat show. I used to go to Beaton’s years ago just to walk around and see what’s going on. Love that place. I took some great osprey photos while sailing in Rock Hall Maryland this past week. Anything Gaff rigged always catches my eye. Sjogin’s a great boat. I’m building a Penobscot 17 lapstrake now. Also the Joel White flatfish is one of my dream boats. thanks, Dave Satter http://www.sattersrestoration.com
