Winter

Best wishes to all for New Year's and 2013.  I'll finish 2012 with this photo taken this morning.  Time to get out the ol' snow shovel!

BELLE under cover for the winter.  Time to start thinking about sailing next summer!

October in Maine

A bit of a chill in the air, but I'm still hoping for a few more nice sailing days this year...

Not much wind today, just an overcast fall afternoon down at the mooring.

Don't be fooled, there are a few boats still in the water, I've just artfully avoided them in my photos.

That's the Eggemoggin Reach off in the distance.

A few days later, a misty morning.

I bought some decent foul-weather gear this summer so maybe I'll keep BELLE in the water a while longer.  I haven't forgotten about Rigging Part 2--Part 1 is here-- I'm hoping to have that on the blog soon...
