to go out yesterday morning but garden duties prevailed as we had three Blueberry shrubs to plant. (two Low, one High bush.) Which involves moving some roses and so on. Hope to go far a sail this week after work.
Settled for a quick fire and the usual. Nice day with occasional showers and a bit of thunder.
Tempting as the breeze wasn’t yet up to the forecast 10 to 15 but I had unplanted Blueberry bushes to plant.
Happy Skipper; bright sun, cool breeze , full of tea and toast.

Lots of progress on the H-15 in the shop. Just about all of the new frames are in and riveted to the floors. The plywood form is temporary; it’s used to get her shape back. The form is from a laydown taken from handwritted offsets from the Herreshoff shop.
The backbone’s been trued and fastened together. Note the forward planking and sawn frames are in good shape. That’s because Tom Beaton replaced the stem, planks and ribs after Quest was hit by a jet ski at speed. That must have been 20 years ago.
More later. Today’s the 100th Birthday of Olin Stephens, one of this country’s finest yacht designers. WBF Thread here.
