Over the last two weeks either the water’s been too low or the breeze insufficient or no time. Still managed to have a fire and a cuppa every weekend morning. Today looked promising with a chance of showers and temps in the 40’s with a light mist but absolutely no breeze. Had a watch below, finishing Melville’s Billy Budd.
Beaton’s is making good progress on the new Flatfish, Serena. The cabin top’s on and sheathed with the finish work in the cockpit started. Looking forward to an early Spring launching.

How appropriate for drinking tea and rum while reading Billy Budd
Quiet morning at Beaton’s last Saturday. Just time for a fire and tea. Could have gone out but we went to see the NY Philharmonic with Dave and Cheryl. Very warm day; 72 in Central Park by the afternoon.
Nothing like a sizzling slice of Joe Leone’s provlone and hot sausage bread.
