2017 Summer Photos

Sumner,

If I remember correctly, this photo was yours from the same trip.


This is my watercolor painting of it. Thanks for giving permission to do it.

You did a good job on that, a hard subject to do.

That time we put in at Hite and went down the lake a ways and then back to Hite. Ruth and I had sailed after that from the dam at Page a little over 90 miles up to Halls Crossing/Bullfrog. We didn't motor any of that except to go anchor or beach the boat at night and returned to where we had left off the day before. Took us 18 days with some days too windy and I was hurt on one of those.

I always wanted to return and do the last part of the trip (40+ miles) from Halls Crossing to the end of the lake at Hite. Dottie and I accomplished that on this trip. Took us 8 days to get to Hite but we didn't travel every day due to weather and the wind was against us most of the time.



Had over 20 tacks a couple days to make progress into the wind. It was a great trip and I finally was able to accomplish my goal of sailing the length of the lake.

That pic shows: Baby, it's cold outside!
Winter just landed a good combination, of heavy snow & 50mph wind, on the US NE seaboard & it's gonna be in the single digits all week ... Stay tuned

Love the dorades John. Can you also swivel them to catch wind if docked?

Funny enough, if you look at the dorades on a commercial ship, they face rearward. My sons built a cardboard model of the titanic, and there was lots of discussion on the dorades since some artist renderings showed them facing forward, but photos clearly had them facing rearward.

Here's a photo of a professional model:

And to bring the thread back on point:

Here's a photo that defines the reason for having a Mac.

At the risk of outing myself as 'that guy', the dorades are actually the boxes under the scoop vents that prevent water that enters the vent from getting past the deck, into the space below. John (Highlander) made his own dorades, and used commercial scoop vents on top.

Sorry. I just can't help myself sometimes. Like Sheldon Cooper knocking and calling a name three times.
