Eagle Nest, New Mexico, 2012. “People like to drive because driving is actually and symbolically an almost perfect mechanism for escape…there is probably no human being who does not have troubles, real or imagined, from which he at times feels the need to flee.” George R. Stewart.

Concordia sloop and Arno Day lobsterboat

This time of year you see a lot of boats nosing out of barns. Brian Larkin's Blue Dolphin is looking good to go.
                            I believe Blue Dolphin was built by Arno Day

Down at Center Harbor it was very high tide, with gusts @ 15 knots, and heavy rain. Boats are in but nobody has done much sailing yet. I hope Scout will be in within a week or so.

Wade Dow built this Bridges Point 24 here in Brooklin
Concordia sloop 
I believe this little sloop was built here at Brooklin.
