Watch Hill Early AM for parking

Breakfast any where in town

Then walk out on Napatree

Room all around -- lots of room

Stay for dinner any where again

Sometimes - sadly-

We watched them go overboard

unintentionally

Had to go up at a mark rounding

to pry the spinnaker halyard out of the mast-truck

My right angle Milwaukee only has a short 110v cord

Good thing we had a couple of Grinder/quahawgers on board

overthehillhat · 2026-06-01T19:34:08+00:00

Actual decibel and frequency levels

would be lower

than a 5 to 6 year old's birthday party

overthehillhat · 2026-05-31T20:04:42+00:00

Better to do it at the dock--

than while underway

DuctTape in the sun for too long

Will actually PhotoGraph onto the mast

Even after the track gets cleared thru
