Sailing as slow as I can and a constant garden editor. And still managing long tail post WWII marine insurance liabilities.
Our neighborhood in 1705. We live on the bank of that tiny tidal lake under the M in Manasquan. Note the map is upside down with north at the bottom. Thanks Kent for the scan.

Here’s a nice group of wooden boats. That’s SJOGIN in the center out for her mid-summer refit. You can just make out the new garvey in the pit.

SPARTINA’s first sail on Barnegat Bay. There’s nothing like a long running daydream made flesh.
Thanks to all involved, foremost my Chief Enabler Julia D'amato. You’ll see her driving SPARTINA very soon.

She swims. The first Swan Point Garvey under sail on the Benjamin River in Brooklin, Maine with the designer and a mutual friend aboard. Come see SPARTINA in person at the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport next weekend.

From today’s letter to an American by HCR. She’s talking about the corruption and blatant racism with some of these meme coins. Sums up where we are pretty well.
