Still lots to do on the sail, rudder, mast, trailer, countless other things before a planned Spring launch. I'm thinking now about how to make it snake-proof after reading your post about Day 9, though! Good grief. I might have to build in a self-destruct button and just blow the whole thing in case it's taken over by those things.

I think a lot of them have been around for decades, passed from one generation to the next, and all probably grandfathered for rules on building structures in the water. But I don't know that for a fact. Certainly worth visiting Tangier Island. steveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17060896232365651376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-44620104647690362832020-10-29T11:19:43.513-04:002020-10-29T11:19:43.513-04:00This beautiful area is so fascinating - I hope to ...This beautiful area is so fascinating - I hope to visit one day! Can you just build a crab shanty wherever you want? You just drive posts into the sand and build on top? <br /><br />Annie is also a beautiful and interesting boat! Glad you guys got to catch up.
