Sunny We went to the boat show this morning. They have a large number of beautiful boats
on the docks and two tents full of vendors.
When we found out that they wanted $15/each to go on the docks we
decided to just go to the vendors. There
are several people we know or have done business with in the past. One of the folks we need to see is the man
who will “swing” our compass (correct it).
At present we have three compass’ on the boat. The regular glass compass, the GPS and the
Chart Plotter. They all say a different
number. Thank goodness we don’t leave
site of land. Who knows where we would
wind up. After the show we went back to
Emerald Star to work until 5 pm when they lock the gaits to the yard. For those of you who remember, we got
ourselves locked into the yard twice last year…We even called the plice at one
point to help us. Fred was beat to s_ _t
so he wasn’t even going to have dinner. Merlin
& I went over to Bob’s Chowder House for take-out. I was looking around the entrance for
someplace to tie up Merlin while I went in and ordered. This fellow outside said he would be happy to
hold the leash. I went in and ordered
and on the way out a couple stopped me and commented on my fleece which says
“Alaska” on it. Apparently they live
near Anchorage (some place I have never heard of) and were here at the
TrawlerFest to look for a cruising boat.
Very nice folks.
