For what its' Worth.

The Solstice Season; That is the Time the Sun seems to hang in the Sky.
This is caused by the Earth motion around the Sun with its tilted axis.
It set up the Sun to rise and fall in the sky. The true action is in a
sine wave, with the Solstice periods being the top and bottoms of this
wave. the time period being about 27 days. Half of that time going into
the Solstice and the other half coming out.

So what this means is we'll see a gradual rising of the sun in the sky.
This will seem the be a gradual rise. About 8 days for the first degree
and increasing until it is about 4 days/ degree (actual 3.7} It is this
action that the Sun/Time Tables are set up from.

This knowledge makes it possible to use the extended arm and closed fist
for ball park sightings at local noons. You don't need Time period
tables or sextant. You won't be any where as accurate but with practices
you can get close.

So, watch the Sun's rise in the Summer Sky at noon. A good time for
mid-day cup of coffee

Good for you. Nice to hear you row instead of motor.

Rowing is very good for toning up those arm and chest
muscles. Rowing will even make your breasts sag less.

You get used to it...we were fortunate enough to get a spot on the dock for
the dinghy so ayt least I didn't have to get otu and wade to drag it
in....the trip back from the boat is almost always agaisnt the wind...if
there's waves it can be quite "fun" two strokes forward, one drift back....

I thought the frost patterns on the combing were quite interesting...

I'll bet it was fun clambering into an ice cold dinghy and rowing out to
the boat, eh?

Your experience proves dowsing is all a big hoax.

You lived atop a large mountain. Most every mountain
in that part of the country has caves and underground
streams, lakes, etc. along with springs.

If dowsing really worked, the dowser should have been
able to find water existing in sufficient quantity well
above the water table. If dowsing were real, the dowser
should have found an underground lake in a cave into
which to drill. That you had to drill all the way to the
water table proves dowsers are frauds.

Gotta agree with you there Cappy; when we had our well drilled the
drillers asked us where we would like our well and I pointed out a
location about 10' out from the house. The guy gets out his dowsing tools
(two pieces of coathanger wire) and proceeds to wander around eventully
stopping right over the spot I wanted, the wires suddenly cross and he
tells me I'm really lucky, there is water right where I wanted it. My
nightbors had the same guy do their well, same story, funny thing though,
the water in both wells was found at 65'! Uri Geller couldn't have done
better.

A 65 foot well?

I don't have much experience in drilling wells, but when I lived in North
Georgia in the Appliancian Mountains near Blue Ridge, they had to re-drill
to 3000 feet. They remarked about having to do this miracle, but I didn't
have a clew (nautical content) about what the average well would be...

I lived on top of a large mountain, and I guess it was par for the course?

We bought a 3hp Mercury this past summer, and it's a godsend when heading
into wind and wave. It only weighs about 35lbs. so it's a snap to carry and
put on the dink. If your dinghy sits at the dock, you could leave such a
motor attached. It would make life a lot easier.

Do your breasts sag less, thanks to rowing, Cappy?

Must you gay up every post?

I've had a three point three Mariner on my dinghy for the past
seven or eight years. It's a great little motor. Mine even has
the shifter for putting it in neutral. It just runs and runs. All I've
had to put in it are a couple of spark plugs and a couple of
water pump impellers.

Your engine is the same mill as my Mercury, just with different graphics.
Yeah, neutral is nice to have. They are great little kickers, and
economical to operate as you point out.

Our dinghy would sink with a motor on back...it's a very precarious thing,
our dinghy...

I don't recall--is yours a hard dink? A little kicker shouldn't bother it
any, as long as you both don't sit on the transom knees. g
