Down to Sjogin yesterday for the usual. Again a Saturday morning spitting rain out of the SSE, blowing 20 or so. Not too cool but raw enough for a fire. Noisy below with the chop raised in the basin. Plenty of water too.
Prime dry Jersey White Cedar makes fine kindling. Off cuts from the Quest planking job.
Classic Saturday morning ritual. Finished going through John Stilgoe’s Shallow Water Dictionary. It’s a slim book that ranges over the meanings and origins of “estuary” english.
Speaking of Quest, the Xynole deck covering is on and the hull’s been faired. Expect paint soon.
Plenty of water, plenty of wind and in between showers. Not a very pretty day.
Irene Tansy dancing back and forth on her mooring.
High water in Stockton Lake last Friday. The Brant seem to like the easy in and out.
Something interesting in the shop at Beatons. It’s a new bottom plank with a hole for the propeller shaft for the Bunker and Ellis picnic boat Cats Whiskers.
