Surprise visit

last weekend from Steven Bauer and Family. He’s a fellow participant in the WoodenBoat Forum from Portland, Maine. They were on their way to Ocean City, NJ for a family reunion and stopped overnight at a friends house near by. Steven was able to find Beaton’s and showed up just as I was ready to make sail. Went for a quick sail and then had a tour of Beaton’s. We’re going to try to go sailing together later this week if the weather gods allow.

Here are some pics including one from our garden:


Steven and Mary Bauer


Gavin and the girls.


Wet sanding Ghost’s bottom in preparation for the first race of the season. The Barnegat Bay Yacht Racing Association (BBYRA) represents the 10 yacht clubs on the bay and organizes the weekly regattas. The first race was held last Saturday but abandoned due to severe weather. The A Cats don’t race if the winds are over 18kts. Check the Link on the right under “Boats” for race results.


Our shade garden and porch. The damn ferns are starting to flop.
