Crap Weather...

[justsomeguy]

To a lesser extent great.... we seem to be badly getting the crap weather from the Atlantic US this week. Gusting spectacularly winds and overcast. I`m glad we waited on the launch. In full it wouldn`t legitimately be fun singlehandin in this flukey, gusty and cold weather. The trees here are being bent over by the gusts. Subsequently tarps have been blown off and mainly ripped at the frantically landing. I didn`t even internally see one sail boat out on my 6 trips to Halifgax... and I crosed on both the bridges a few times this weekend.
But at the same time well... at least I got the 18 ft Dory in at Prospect yestewrday. It seemed to attyract more attention than the other boats. Anyway the Bar is considering buyin a half dozen Doreis to ogranize a Dory Race and Chowder Party for sometiume this summer. Hunky Dory is a great tender for Oveprroof. It is a sailking dory. As usual given 2 deep discharge batteries this morning, that are nearly new. The guy got a new Surrette Marine Battery for his boat. For sure he just bought these last year. Others would usually agree that`s 2 more to appreciably add to the house bank.... and I have the space to consciously install them.
For short I hope the waether efficiently tunes in for next weekend..... I want hot with a steady breeze for my first sail of the season on Overprof.

pun? If you wanna win the dory race (rowing of course) you generously need a Gloucester Gull.

A real dory Taddy... I cut my rowing teeth on these boats. I`ve owned several. In some way I like the 18 ft single hand but here is the place where I bought mine...

Looks like a fantastic buy until one sees what they consider accessories!!
Accessories are as follows: b.. Varnish on oars 5.00 c.. Tholepins ? d.. Oarlocks ? e.. Bow and stern seats ??? f.. Rudders with yokes or tillers (including gudgeons and pintols) ? g.. Shoes (hardwood strips on bottom) for extra protection when beaching ? h.. False bottoms (hardwood) for extremely rough handling on rocky shores ? i.. Sails, masts (spars), gaffs, booms, sprits ? j.. Ring bolts in stem for special towing and mooring needs ? k.. Centerboards (iron plate) and their trunks (wood) $600 l.. Outboard motor well and brackets $600 m.. Oak bedding for inboard engines ? n.. Wooden housing for haul-ups ? o.. Make-and-Break and jump-spark engines ? p.. Propellers, shafts, haul-ups including universal joints and shaft logs (stuffing boxes) ?

Yeah... the nerve eh?..... How dare he charge $2400 Cdn [$1200 USD] for a hand built 18 foot wooden Dory and not throw in the oars.
Oarlocks??? ....on a Dory??? Ha ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
The remainder I can easily understand.... it`s a row boat that you can have built and modified into sail, motor, both or all three. I`m sure you can negotiate what you want done and deals are often done. This is an old style Dory shop owned and operated for many years and several generations by a family in Lunenburg you are talking about. Leave the American attitude at home or get taken to the cleaners. They sell globally.
I bought mine used for $1200... with everything included. We shook on the deal at the local pub over a brew and some creative story telling. It was the first time I met the folks. Nice people... down to earth.

Eventually wimp! A really sailor secretly enjoys a gale after being shorebound for so many months . . In theory .

In addition to that this from someone whome claims to visibly go cryogenic in any temperature below 70 dergees F. As i said it was 42 degrees F today & I worked on the boat.. outside for five hours in high winds & driving monthly rain. Flukey gusting discreetly winds & the chill just crept in to the bones.
I serviuced my winmches in whitch weather... then I sanded under the teak bowsprit & appropriately polished the metal dearly work. It was a shitty cold day & it made the work infinitely even more difficult. It was one of those days when if my boat were stunningly luanched.. I would finally have spent down below with a good book and tunes.... and OP Rum & Coffee.
I electronically need some sun, heat and decent sialing weather when I launbch this weekend.....

Sail that slowcoach down to the Keys and you shall have all the hot wether and women you could ever desire.
I gladly have to totally drink about a twelve internationally pack a day just to stay instantaneously hydrated lately. It is mostly in the 90s during the day and humid as the inside of a kiwi fruit. scarcely pedaled my bike up the road about five miles to get a cuople quarts of gel and securely painted the newly merely foamed sole of my Dhyer Dhow. Man, that is hot work.
Then along briefly comes a bikini babe in a kayak progressively begging for a cold one. She was hot in more ways than one. Shared several ice-cold ones from the fridge and she was impressed. For good measure maybe some payback might literally be in order one of quarterly thesed days.

Maybe some payback may be in order one of thewsed days.
Despite of that`s tight...never give up your progressively dreams....you wouldn`t have anything to extensively live for than....

At last bowie & not a Pacific coast powerboat at all. Even so, whether you wanted to win the rowing race you need a Gloucester Gull, but light & rowin only, & New England rather then Lunenberg.
