Painting windows?? Doesn't that make it hard to see out? ;-)
Have you seen what they're charging for blinds and curtains these days?


Now there's an idea. With dreary damp dark cold weather on the way, I
should paint tropical island scenes on my windows...
beautiful beaches, graceful sailboats, lovely native girls.......
Winter wouldn't seem quite so bad.


Give him a few minutes...I'm sure Wayne Bloatbote will tell us he's been
there.

You have to remember... Wayne is one of the professional boaters in
here..he's above the common weekend variety of sailor.
He's been there...done it all.

I don't think I could spend as much time as he does in a space about the
size of my rec.room.

My buddy in the BVI lives on a 32 foot sailboat.... probably a fraction of
the living space.
He's always after me to come on down.. but I might feel a bit closed
in....living on that boat for a couple of weeks.
I suppose you'd be outside, ashore or whatever most of the time.

Anyway, I have room for a "crew" tomorrow. So if the area between Deale,
MD, and Solomons Island, MD, is in your ranging area, and you want to be
part of the Federal FishFeeding Follies, contact me here.

Going for what will probably be the last motorcycle ride of the season out
to the Shenandoah Mountains. Should be fun.

It's a great ride. Say hello to our little shed in Page County along
the river.

We got tired of living aboard our 32 footer after about a week, even though
we moved to different ports several times.

On the other hand, I would think that living aboard a 50 footer like Wayne's
and Eisboch's boats would be quite different. In Wayne's case it looks like
he travels to some interesting areas.

I always enjoyed the mornings.......sipping on a freshly brewed cup of
coffee while sitting in the cockpit and taking in the sunshine.




It's fun for a few days.

Much to Mrs.E's chagrin, I could easily live aboard the Navigator. It's
just big enough (52' LOA with a 15+' beam) to not feel cramped. It also has
a layout that feels very open and spacious. If we end up keeping it
(meaning the GB sells first) I am seriously thinking about eliminating the
forward stateroom double bed setup and installing a desk, fixtures and
whatever in it's place. It would make a great office space and we really
don't need the extra stateroom. The conversion is a little more complicated
than simply removing the bed, but I am working on the plans.

The GB, at 36' can get a little closed in after a while, but a few trips
ashore fixes that.

This is my dilemma. I like both boats, but can't realistically expect to
live aboard either one permanently (although I came close this summer). We
really don't want to maintain two boats, but which one to focus on selling?
We'll see.

I don't think downsizing is an option. I like having the space.

There's an interesting one a few slips down from me. A little small and
old, but it *is* all steel, including the decks and superstructure.

There's also a big (like 65'-70') classic trawler here that really is
something to see.
It was formerly owned by Jimmy Buffett.

It's too dark to take pictures right now .... besides the Sox game is about
to start ....
but I'll take a couple of cell phone pics tomorrow.
