and sailing as slow as I can….
The vagaries of Hermine spared us this time. Had she started her meanderings a bit further west we could have had some serious flooding. It’s especially worrisome on the back bays where repeated tide cycles back up and up. The docks at Beaton’s barely got wet this time.
Here’s Sjogin after the storm and back in operation.
Checking out the Osprey nest on Sloop Point. Nice sail.
Video link soon.
Here we go with an upgraded WordPress page. As mentioned, I can now post from my IPad/Phone. Here we go:
Here we are ready as we can be for the vagaries of Hermine. So far so good and this served as training for when we eventually get hit.
for ignoring you all though I expect true Sjogin fans know where to go for current photos and updates.
The Sjogin page on FaceBook is public along with the Instagram page. Wish I could post more often here but here we are.
The Duckboat Worlds are this Friday; hope to get a big Post up next week.
Thanks for sticking around,
Russ
Ps: Just tried to post a pic from the WordPress App and they’re now sized to fit automatically. Expect a lot of iPad posts!
PPs: Just looked at the site on my laptop and see the the photo is very, very large. Huuuuuge one coud say. I’ll try to fix this.
Arrrgggghhhh
Here’s another try at posting a photo uploaded directly to WordPress
Don’t be alarmed if the look of the page changes. Upgrade on it’s way. Be patient Jake.
Sjogin has a sister! Details later. I promise….
At long last I’ll be able to say that to our guests. Thanks to Paul’s crafting an idea that I described by moving my hands in the air. Installation soon!
Come and sit down.
Paul Smith driving Sjogin.
Hove to off Swan Point. Had two fine if slow sails today, the second with Julia. Seemed to remember how to sail and had to tack around Swan Point in a light easterly with motor boat bobble all over.
Your very, very happy Skipper.
Thanks to all who have shared this adventure over the years. Your patience with my infrequent posting and oh so slow rebuilding progress is deeply appreciated.
Sail slow my friends.
Apparently there’s enough interest out there that Paul Gartside has designed a 16 foot version of Sjogin. Here’s a link to the recent article in WaterCraft Magazine. Truly amazing. From a neglected boat on the back row at Beaton’s to a seemingly global small boat star.
Let a thousand Sjogin’s bloom.
No stopping me now. I added to new WordPress app to my phone (where all the pics are). Â 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. Â The BBYRA season starts next Saturday.
Lightning details.
Well, that wasn’t too hard. Â More soon.
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.
