Choosing fire extinguishers for a cruising boat is a lot more complicated than it may appear. Here’s what Phyllis and John ended up with after consulting experts. #boat #fire #extinguisher morganscloud.com/2023/07/03/fir…

Saloon cushions, new & old. The old ones aren't actually that old, but poor quality fabric plus super-heavy plywood backs (why???) mean they have to be re-done the right way. Which means learning the right way, one at a time. We're getting there.

More boats = more work. While K replaces the big boat's cushions with new ones made of the proper materials, M is attempting to repair the little boat's dry rot. Sigh.

Happy #PrideMonth 😊

The only thing more terrifying than this unprecedented ‘abnormal’ surge in ocean temperature is the political & societal complacency, the arrogant belief that we can all carry on as ‘normal’ without consequence. We clearly cannot.

Colin continues the story of making a basically sound, but nearly half-a-century-old, boat ready for sailing. Vital reading for anyone buying a used boat. #sailboat #refit #maintenance #tips morganscloud.com/2023/06/10/sta…

4yo in cabin thinks he's playing tug of war with his sister using a dock line. 8yo on deck is winning because she's tied it off to the bow mooring cleat.

This sail is freaking amazing. Gusts just turn right into thrust. 7+ knots with fingertip-perfect balance.

Brand new John Clark mainsail from #KingstonSailLoft bent on & ready to hoist. Excited.

@americascup The #AC37 is a damned impressive class. Crew, engineering, construction, tactics.... When you see them go, it's hard to believe there isn't a hidden jet engine under that transom.
