nice, but I was looking for some shots of the water front, that loney pylon.
I been snake bit with images lately, two computers up and running and can't get the drivers for hardware, camera, scanner etc. Found a picture today, of the last sloop I ever owned. Two years and never got it in the water. Only way to get any use out of a rag boat is to keep it in the water. Too much rigging for me to deal with.
anyway I sure wish I could get some pics up. oh woe is me.
morning glories and tomatoes, july and no blossoms yet, leaves as big as an elephant's ear (Indian not African). Yeah I can hardly wait to see some more boat pics, I got one somewhere of a cheasepeake bay sharpie I got a lot of use out of that one. Kept it in a little marina on the severn up stream from the Naval Accademy. Nice sail down to Annapolis. Tie up at one of those publick docks with the parking meters. Walk the streets. No roller reefing on that sharpie, wood twenty three feet at the water line, narrow beam, pointed stern like a 1949 Studebaker, club footed jib was so easy. but I had to tie off reef points in a fresh breeze. She creaked so much I would get spooked.. steel centerboard but I still wimped out and reefed. I think I just reefed because it looked so kool
