Don Woodhouse ("Togarty") --
a member-subscriber of my C22 discussion group -- arrived
today (Sunday) after his cross-country bicycle ride from Portland,
Oregon to Bar Harbor, Maine -- some 4300 miles! I picked him up at South
Station in Boston and gave him a tour of the coast on our way home.
On the left, he's about to enter Marblehead from Swampscott. (Aug. 16, 2009) |

Today the plan was to meet up with
John Graichen ("Malacass") at my house then head down to the launch and
out to our boats. We got a pretty early start, about 10:30. Don and I
took Chip Ahoy out and met John at his mooring. The weather
forecast was excellent: Sunny, in the low 90s, and no rain, showers, or
thunderstorms in sight. The wind was supposed to be SW swinging to SE
later in the day, at 10-12 mph. (Aug. 17, 2009) |
