Time to pull out Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale. A classic for a classic Winter. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a few more “Blizzards of the Decade” pass through.
Here are a few pics from the last week or so.
…
Windswept decks and the usual cockpit full of snow. Last Sunday after the first “Blizzard of the Decade”.
…
The blocks are holding up well. We’ll see how they look next Winter.
…
As I walked out on the dock last Sunday I rudely interrupted Elevenses for the local Merganser family.
…
Now that Speedwell’s out of the Duckboat room, rowboat building begins.
…
Off the jig and in the main shop for finishing while the second one is started.
…
And finally, here’s a scene from today’s Blizzard of the Decade. Our offices were closed today and tomorrow looks iffy as well. Sjogin will need to be bailed in any event.
Russ: It seems like there’s a market for those gorgeous little rowboats. Who’s buying them down there, and if you know, how much would one set someone back? Dave
Dave,
Beaton’s is asking $4,000 for these little gems. At that they probably are losing money but keeps the workers skills in shape for the money making jobs. The two they are building this Winter are already spoken for.
