Here are a few pics of Summer at Beaton’s. More to follow.

George and his Martha Jane down for Wally’s memorial. The boat is Phil Bolger’s update of Black Skimmer (which George recently adopted). Had a good sail in her up to Bay Head the following day. Quite an agile boat and not as tender as expected. Black Skimmer would be my first choice to go Bolgering on Barnegat Bay. Hmmmm…..

Clearing; for now. Another storm in a Summer full of them.
One of the items to be accomplished this Winter is adding weight to the rudder to get it to lay vertical.

I always wanted a nice big Hankin’s for race watching and such. I’m sure we could work in a WC for Julia.

Here’s Myth at the start of the Season looking Beaton Fresh. Paul Smith crafted a fine deck with no sticky bits.

More than boats get painted at Beaton’s. Here’s Fred pimping his ride.
And finally a pic of your Happy Skipper yesterday. Renovations at Ourhouse are almost done and the shingle folk are gone. Had a day long computer issue so I went for a sail. Over the years these late August light breezes beckoned while I was working on Sjogin in the South shed. Now that she’s committed to a winter ashore, and when we’re blessed with these days the temptation’s too great.
Sail slow my friends.
