Post Christmas sails (not sales, sails) this week

Went out on Boxing day and again Friday with Jeffrey, home for Christmas. At the end of our sail yesterday I dropped Jeff off with my camera and had him take some pics from the dock. Not often I have the opportunity to have someone take photos of Sjogin under sail.

Also saw my review of the Sardine wood stove in the current issue of WoodenBoat Magazine at Beaton’s. Tom got his copy but mine’s yet to show up.

Finally a couple of pics from Christmas Eve with Julia’s family.

But first a bit of video from Fiday:
