Gotta learn to mind the gap!

After months of worrying about a dog going in at the dock we finally did ourselves in early one Sunday morning on our way back from the showers. I had premonitions about not keeping Cassie's harness on and sure enough, the one time we left it on the boat, she went in. We had successfully booarded several times during the weekend and established a nice routine, but I stopped unexpectedly along the finger pier to take a closer look at a smudge on the side of Litha wondering if it was just dirt or a more permanent fender rub. I may have stopped, but Cassie proceeded on and jumped toward the open gate as far as her leash allowed. Coming up short, down to the water below she went, kicking and splashing back and forth to nowhere. Luckily I was able to set down the shower bag, reach down with my free hand, grab her collar gently and reposition her to where I could grab a handfull of her hind quarters and hoist her back to safety. Cassie quickly expressed her gratitude by sh...

A Companionway Lock System Which Finally Works!

A previous post celebrating the addition of companionway doors was more than a bit premature given a workable lock solution was not yet in place. The cheap cylinder lock sold with the doors had a pot metal lip which rotated a few times to catch the back edge of the sliding hatch before breaking off. Given time available during Covid19 isolation, an extensive internet search yielded a well made solid brass drawer lock which nicely secures the back of the door to the back edge of the sliding hatch. The solid brass cylinder drawer lock and brass dress ring mounted flush enough to enable the window panel to slide past it From the inside, three Runningfish Solid Cast Brass Barrel Bolt, Antique Brass Door Slide Latch Lock, Heavy Duty Gate Sliding Bolt Latch (Antique Bronze) (from Amazon of course) provide enough security to keep the curious riff raff out at night This stainless steel try was fine until it was time to remove the sliding window panel to enable the ...

01/13/18 - Frigid Days in Annapolis

January 2018 - Just as you think you will be able to spend more time on the boat and begin to take care of the items identified in the survey, God freezes the rivers and plays havoc with the tides. Up 4', down 3', Little chance you and your dog can easily spend much time there. And lets not forget getting acquainted with a deicer for the first time. It quickly becomes apparent with experience why you notice how all the other deicers were tied tightly in multiple directions aling the dock once you've untangled your first ungodly mess of power cord and 25' restraining cords that twist tightly together if you fail to tie them off properly. Let's not forget the brutally cold temperature and unrelenting wind which wants to blow you off the finger pier during your untangling effort. Eventually the voice of reason, which strangely sounded a lot like my dad's voice, strongly recommends abandoning the night's efforts in favor of a return during daylight the ne...
