Trip back to Winthrop
Ahmet
04/19/2008, Winthrop, MA

We are back in Winthrop. Left around 11:30 Am. It was a nice sunny day with a 10-15 knot easterly breeze.
We are now in our summer home. The summer looks promising.
Everything (that we have) worked fine Good old bertha the Universal M-21 is purring along, stuffing box and bottom seem to be fine. No significant events.

Shrinkwrap is off
Ahmet
04/15/2008, Charlestown, MA

Well it is the season again.
The winter dwellers are coming out of their boats, and life is coming back to the Marina !
The sun is up it is a cool April day, the shrinkwrap is off, the deck is somewhat cleaned up, and we are getting ready to move over to Winthrop.
There is a lot of work to be done, eventually Nomad will get it's mast back which is waiting at Crystal Cove Marina in Winthrop. We will have better sealed deck hardware, new windwane, new autopilot, new anchor light, and a working spreadeer light.
We will be going on a boatless vacation for a week, to sunny Florida.
After that, towards the end of April, we are off to Winthrop.

GRAFITTI
Ahmet
04/15/2008, Charlestown

OK Folks !
Who did this !
Nomad's nose was painted. In a rather artful way.
I can quite well guess who that was !
A particular neighbor of ours, probably got the inspiration after they got their shrinkwrap down. She must have climbed up on his shoulders. The eyes are almost 8 feet off the ground !
You shouldhave signed it Kristi !

I wish we had done it at the beginning of the season !

Next year.... wait till next year ! we will have grafitti wars :):):) !

So if you know somebody who is interested in chartering a boat for an afternoon or more in Boston Harbor, check out the FullMoon
