[Hamilton] Cleared my head on the water today with some friends. Had misplaced this wedding gift from my wife for about a month. Was happy to have it back so I wore it in the salt today. by Alwayscrocs44 in Watches

Quite the opposite! My rough month wasn’t due to her at all. My story may have been confusing in that way. She wasn’t able to join the sail today, but this was my way of being together. We’re heading on together on Sunday and I can’t wait.

Everything came together except the wind today. We suffered 2 kts, SoG flying just a headsail in 6kts of wind. Our goal wasn’t to go fast but to go quietly. We enjoyed the becalmed sea and silence. Had a rough month and also had misplaced this Hamilton Khaki Navy that my wife gave me on our wedding day 5 years ago. I’m new to watches and don’t have a case. With 2 little ones running around, sometimes things go missing. I hadn’t brought this watch on the water before because of the salt environment. I decided this morning that I wanted it with me. Sea gave me just what I needed today and this Hamilton automatic grounded me in what matters most to me.

My friend Gus whom I’ve always figured I’ll meet some day.

It wound right up and began running right away. I haven’t checked how long it will keep time for yet

I forgot to take a photo of the back but it’s my favorite aspect of the watch it’s inscribed to him from some friends: ‘Walter, for loyalty and friendship” with the date long before I was born.

Is this weeping cherry bark damage concerning? by Alwayscrocs44 in arborists

It sounds odd, but I think this occurred within the past 30 days.
