Perfect little trip
The return trip to Kingman from Scituate was very pleasant but somewhat sad
as it signified the end of a very enjoyable summer aboard "Pangea". I lucked out and picked the only day this week that the coastal waters up here were not shrouded in very dense fog. (This morning we are all fogged in again). Left at 6:30 am, arrived at Kingman at 1 pm. I actually had to slow down in the Cape Cod Canal because the railroad bridge was in the lowered position. Otherwise, I would have made record time. Mrs.E. drove down to pick me up and snapped a few pictures as I arrived at the fuel dock. Sadly, "Pangea" will be hauled, winterized and stored away inside today. http://www.eisboch.com/pangeareturn Shifting my flag over to the Navigator. Eisboch |

Eisboch Pretty boat, though all that canvas up top seems a bit much to me. What's the rush to store? You still have a month of Seattle-like summer weather ahead. |

When we purchased the boat it had a simple, but worn bimini. We decided to replace it with the full enclosure mainly because in early spring and fall when the temperature drops, the sun still warms up it's interior so it's still comfortably usable. I can also plug in an electric heater in the evenings and it stays warm up there. I hate cold. During the hot summer months, the front, sides and rear sections can all be easily removed and stored, basically leaving a large bimini top. There's no big rush to store but I've had my fill of the trawler for this year and since it is stored inside, it allows Kingman to avoid the rush later this month. I am leaving shortly to drive down there, clean out the fridge and boat before they haul it. The Navigator, "Soul Source" sits in a slip a short walk from the GB, so I'll set up shop in it. It stays in the water year round and won't be winterized until late December (unless the weather turns cold sooner). There is still a possibility that I might head south this year. (Mrs.E. and I are still discussing the potential). If so, I'll take the Navigator and leave at the end of this month or in early November. If not, it will be an occasional winter hangout. Eisboch |

Eisboch Well, if you do, let me know. We can meet somewhere for lunch or dinner and discuss whether Amity or Hillhouse girls put out more. |
