boats, boats and more boats


I didn't think Paul and Dawn would have much time to take photographs today but they are sending a steady stream of very nice cell phone images.  Above is Dawn Patrol with the new bow sprit.  White sails and blue skies, perfect.


And this has to be the captain's meeting.  There are a lot of captains out there.


And a lot of boats too.  Sailboats,


kayaks,


this very fast looking sloop,


and even more boats.  What a great collection.


I recognize the the classic main and mizzen of the CS20 Dawn Patrol there in the center of the photograph.  I've seen those sails many times, usually off in the distance as they leave Spartina behind.

Thanks for the photos.  Keep them coming.

Steve--

I can help only a little. The photograph of kayaks appears to indicate that Kneading Water finally has a new boat. Last year he finished in style in a Nordkapp with significant sections patched with Gorilla Tape. Could it be the Tide Race Xplor he refers to in the roster? I don't even know what that is. Might that be Seiche to the left?

The sleek looking sailboat just below is a modified 550i being sailed by Meade and Jan Gougeon of West Systems. Look out!

Exciting!
