Hi All!
Were still up in N.H working bit by bit on our home projects up here.
While it’s only been 18 days or so it occasionally seems like it has been much longer….
We’re having boating withdrawal symptoms!!!!
🫣
Being shore bound the past several weeks has been a bit of a challenge!
If it’s not the heat and humidity it’s been the excessive rain!
The ground is too solid even when it’s soggy!!!
Can’t wait to get back down to SC and our boat!
Our NH area has been experiencing some recent flooding events as of late.
Several major and minor roads have been washed out to the extent that the national news has covered the damage.
Fortunately no lives were lost and it’s just really an inconvenience for most without any homes lost that we know of.
Several local dams are flowing over their spillways at rates not previously seen.
Our pond spillway looks like a whirlpool drain…
Out community’s Lake spillway has not only lipped over the four design chutes but is flowing over the raised sections inbetween and on either side as well. Not something anyone here, or the association, has seen before. Just a tremendous amount of water flow.
I’ll have to get over there after things calm down to see if the spilllbed has suffered any damage… that could prove to be costly!!!
Unfortunately the same can’t be said of what the rains have done in Vermont and upstate New York!
Our Hearst go out to those who have lost so much due to the multiple serious flooding events over the past week.
Truely devastating…
Meanwhile we continue to work on the NH chore list…. I know this isn’t all that exciting but for an old foggy like me getting up each morning can be just cause for celebrations
. Getting something useful done is a real bonus!
Plywood and pine lumber movable rack has been done
Stripping out the half baked garage loft storage racks has been done
Four New garage 2x6x15ft loft joists and two proper plywood 4x12 ft loft decks have been installed
One serendipitously discovered emergency
replacement of a hot water expansion tank in the basement has been done
Multiple medical follow ups and tests have been accomplished with good results so far
Dental visits accomplished with good results too
Multiple car inspections accomplished for the coming year without any issues found
All the trailer registrations updated
There still remains the task of consolidating/emptying/transferring stuff to get down to one storage locker….
Sooner we get the chores out of the way the sooner we get back to SC and our
boat and our waterways.
While we had hoped to get to Lake Champlain it’s just not gonna work out ….
…
We had hoped to meet up with several friends to visit but between the tasks, weather and general lack of timely hotel accommodations within our time frame & budget that doesn’t look like it’s gonna be possible this trip …
We have lucked out in that our daughter in Burlington is going to be able to come over and visit this coming weekend!!
It will be great to see her… it’s been a long time!!
(Who says Dads don’t get empty nest syndrome

Hope everyone is well and safe and happily enjoying their MacGregors this summer!
Best Regards,

so far providing nav/charts/depth albeit on a 3x4 inch screen. A lot better than nada !!! 
The bad news is it does not “like” the in-hull wet box for some reason 
. Kinda frustrating. But there are always options to pursue… such as getting and mounting an external removable track mount to the stern. The removable aspect is to contend with the prolific marine growth of our estuaries.
