Row, row, row your boat (sing along now, you know the tune!) The weather forecast the night before was grim at best, although Sunday morning arrived looking ...
Greetings to all. I will be putting a triple reef in my schedule for the first time in a decade and taking some time off for a few (non-occupational) ...
Attention all Melonheads: You are cordially invited to attend the Annual Small Craft Meet and Messabout of the Delaware River Traditional Small Craft ...
Tom, this sounds like a great chance for N.J. Melonheads to get together and enjoy the company of others in a terrific setting. I hope you have a good turnout....
It's a real flip of the coin when the weather forecast calls for a 50% chance of t-storms. But the last time I sat it out, I missed a perfectly glorious day of...
It's been quite hot here in Israel for the last few weeks - in some areas - such as Jerusalem, the hottest days on record. When I went out sailing on Friday,...
Hello, Dolly! Tom, I think George Bottger, Gloucester's irrepressible Melonseed enthusiast and Tillerdad of the Chesapeake both use Seitech dollies to unleash...
Tom -<br><br>Roger R. is correct. I do have a Seitech dolly, which works very well. I bought mine direct from Roger Crawford in lieu of a trailer, as part of a...
Had a lovely Marina Del Rey sail in 80 degree weather with wind blowing a steady 10-15. Our ritual is this...I drop my wife and daughter off at a small beach ...
David- I enjoyed your account of a couple of days on the water at Nahariya. Sounds like you enjoyed yourself despite the high temps and sunburned hands and ...
Ken, you paint a very pleasant picture with your description of the marina routine. What a great way to lay the groundwork for future enjoyment your daughter ...
This morning "N'est pas" had a bone in her teeth and her skipper picked up lots of salt in his mustache, compliments of a stiff 20-25 mph NE breeze. All the...
Greetings to all. I have just returned from a week of sailing and kayaking in Mt. Desert/Bar Harbor/Arcadia National Park in Maine. I will preface this tiny ...
Roger - <br><br>Your phrase "it ain't how big your boat is, it's how good your boat is" says it all so much better and succinctly than I tried to say it in...
George, once again you've penned a picture that gets to the nub of it all: quality time on the water in a marvelous boat - not measured by number of berths and...
Roger, it took two hankies to swab up the slobber when I finished reading your delightful description of sailing in Southwest Harbor. Obviously a delectable...
Just back from vacation and read your inquiry. We have 2 Seitech dollies, one for PRESH and one for a Zodiac. Both work great. One note of caution: Be sure to ...
This is for those who are considering a melonseed but just can't make up their minds. Existing melonheads will understand. My family and I just returned from a...
The fine bow leaned into the wave and sliced a bucket of water off the top. Exploded skyward and driven by the wind, a million glistening diamonds pattered the...
Jon, you're too kind. (I can hear the whispers in cyberspace, "Don't encourage him!") My wife tells me I'm full of it. <br><br>Actually, I need to make a...
Roger, Don't you have those fishy scales in NANCY LEE from all those 'flying' fish landing in your boat? <br><br>Plenty of applause and a standing ovation from...
Ken, I enjoyed seeing your picture of Camden's harbor. I see ANGELIQUE, the big, steel, North Sea gaff ketch in the foreground. I've always thought her lines ...
Long time since I've posted to the Seed site, but thought ya'all might be interested in my MSeed capsize today at Eagle Creek Reservoir in Indiana prior to...
We melonheads hate to hear about capsizes. The beauty of the original rig is that it was kept low and small enough to give the seed keelboat like stability in...
