Month: June 2015

As promised 

Sjogin’s mast was stepped yesterday after far too long.  I forgot the customary 1985 Bahamian quarter with a local sloop on one face.  A quarter was used yesterday with her traditional coin to be slipped under the mast today.  That should please Poseidon.

Looks like I managed to label the shrouds and stays correctly as everything seems to fit.  The rigging will settle down over time and especially after a few sails.  (Sailing, what a concept.)

Here are a few pics from yesterday:

Thanks all for your patience over the years with my slow posting pace.  These new tools will hopefully shorten the publishing schedule.  We’ll see.

And now some recents at Beaton’s

No stopping me now. I added to new WordPress app to my phone (where all the pics are).  Here’s a test Post.


One of the recent Beaton skiffs home for a touch up.

Mary Ann ready for her 91st season.

Will the Bat  be back?  Stay tuned.

Ready to rig.  The BBYRA season starts next Saturday.

Lightning details.
Well, that wasn’t too hard.  More soon.

iPad Posting

this is a test to see if I can post pics directly from my iPad.  If it works you just may see more frequent posts.  I’m also trying Google Photo to serve the pics.

Here’s a recent pic of Sjogin in her slip.  I think Tuesday will be rigging day.

  

I think it works!

It does work!  Click on the image for a larger size.

Beaton pics next.

What happened to May?

Sorry for the lapse but life sometimes gets in the way of best laid plans. My so called semi-retirement is becoming more like regular work. No complaints here obviously but poor Sjogin slips down the list.

Pics soon I promise. She’s out of the shed and in her usual slip. Works proceeds on the cockpit seats and spars.

Don’t be shocked but we may be sailing in a week or so.

If you can’t wait for pics here, just Google Sjogin and you’ll find all you could ask for.

Thanks all for still watching.
