The yard couldn't launch Loki on Tuesday, so I spent a few hours on the
Constitution (the first time in a few years without family!). As you can see,
she is very well taken care of.

BTW, Loki was launched Wednesday A.M., her sails are on (jiffy reefing is set
up!), head, water system, and fridge all check out. And I only ran aground once
going the 100 yards from the lift to my slip (Curse Negative Tides!).

Maybe this weekend I'll actually go sailing!

Thanks for the pics. Why are they hoisting signals to the fore yard? I
thought that's what the crossjack was for. Also I wonder if I can get a
grog barrel like that one...

Well, we say around here "If you haven't run aground, you haven't really
been anywhere."

Nice pics, thanks

G In over 50 years of being on the water, I've been aground 5 times.
Twice was my own screw-up (I claim youtandinexperience eg), twice I
was "spectator", and once, it was the "pilot" (but since I was Master,
it was still my screw-up).
Hmmmm That's once every ten years ..... uhoh, I'm overdue.....

Wonder what the world would be like without tides?

Enjoy! We plan to kick off tonight.
