Jim - What a wonderful article and story! Congratulations. It's guaranteed that you'll find your new vessel to be worthy of her name. George MS #181 - N'est...
James, We drove all the way from Kent Island Maryland to pick up hull # 315 Ever & Ever in November. Wait until you walk into Roger's shop and see your own...
Congratulations on your fine choice, Jim. I think I speak for a number of northeastern melonheads when I say we look forward to seeing you and Barbara Anne...
Congrats, Jim & Barbara, on your choice of a Melonseed for your 'ideal' daysailer. Great article! Soon BARBARA ANNE will charm be charming you with her...
Congratulations Jim & Barb! You will not regret your choice. I've followed your quest in MAIB, and am so pleased that you settled on a Melonseed. Welcome! ...
Another superlative November sail yesterday in Michigan. Wind was SW, pretty steady at 25-30 mph. Air temp 45, water about the same. I almost chickened out,...
Wow! Sounds like great fun. I have been coerced by my lovely wife into assuring her that I will not sail unless at least two of the following three criteria...
Alan, Well said...I'm still laughing! Up here at 43N we have to take what we can get, and this time of year, any water that's not hard has potential. What...
Kim - Beauport is what Champlain named it when he first landed here in 1604. And Eastern Point, which forms the eastern shore of the harbor has been called ...
I don't know if any of you MAIB readers happened to notice, but there was an enticing article -- well, enticing for those of us who live near lakes in snow...
Lenny, I just read that article last nite and was intrigued by the possibilities. While we always have ice around here, "ice boating" ice is a hit or miss...
Yes, that is a real problem. Our ice-boating season runs from when the lake freezes over (plus a couple of days for insurance) until the first snow storm lays...
In the winter of 1980-81 it was so cold here in the Boston area that one Sunday I saw ice boats on the saltwater ice of Quincy Bay! There were about 20 of them...
Hey Kurt! Exxxxxccccccccuuuuuuuuussssssseeeeee me but I must point out....... a Nonsuch (note the correct spelling) does not "lumber." They are known for...
Jim, I second your comments about the Nonsuch. My Nonsuch 30 was a great boat. Fast, stiff and easy to sail. I loved passing other so called racing boats here...
Launched at mid-day in light breezes and shared the lake with a few duck hunters, but no power boats. After an hour, I was joined by an acquaintance who keeps...
In a posting on Friday, Don H. mentioned that we were expecting a foot of snow in the Boston area. Well it snowed here from Friday night until Sunday night...
I think Kim has earned his fur-lined nose-warmer! What fun to be regaled with sailing stories by a Melonhead north of me a couple hundred miles, well into the...
Yiiiikes. I forgot to put in the " ;)" thing so you knew my comments were intended to be in the jocular vein. We are all in this for fun? Yes??? ... From:...
Well, we "only" got about 30" of snow in Belgrade, Maine. I have a friend who is snowed in, with 15' drifts around his house. The curious thing is that Salmon...
Finestkind. Darwin rules! btw, 82 mph at Mount Dessert during the storm and 76 mph at Matinicus. Must have been some nice seas out there. Brrr. -- KBK...
... I thought your keys were stuck. ... Sure. Wanna race? Lets see, Nonsuch 30 at Portsmouth 85, Melonseed at 105, 5 mile course....but we ought to get that...
Rog, We went Friday afternoon, pigged out at Cook's Lobsta House on Bailey Island then spent Friday night watching weather reports. Brunswick where our ...
Don, you said: "Brunswick, where our cottage is located". Exactly where in Brunswick is the cottage? I was up near there a few weeks ago on a run to LL...
... Talking about Darwin....you must have come back during the peak of it. Well, I can understand not wanting to be snowbound in ME with a dozen tuba players...
