Got back from a trip East last week. Managed a day in Mystic,
Connecticut. Here are some shots from the trip:

Nice stuff, Dale. I'm spoilt, of course, by having Mystic just an hour away,
and Newport next door. (Wooden Boat Show starts tomorrow, too.)

Thanks. Don't know when I'll get back your way, but know it won't be 36
years this time.

You certainly are spoilt. My long-term plan is to live much closer to
salt water-whether east or west as yet unknown. You'd think, living as
close to the great freshwater ocean as I do, that there'd be more
traditional boating stuff around-but it's pretty hard to find.

I've got a 40-foot design being built in Zeeland right now, kind of like this:

That's a very cool boat, I've admired it on your web page before. Sort
of a picnic trawler... wait, can Hinckley sue me for saying that?

Is the boat in Zeeland going to have the canoe stern? It is sort of like
the old fashioned cruiser sterns. More of a draketail? Or a good old
fashioned counter?

Yes, definitely. It has the right look to it, for me as well as for the owner,
and it makes reversing into/out of tight berths soooo much easier...
