She must love you!
She must love you!
Mike -
I am glad to know you will still be around, and with Sea Glass.
I never voiced that opinion before, since it was contrary to your own (thankfully short, and quite possibly, faulty) thinking, but think it safe to do so now that you have come to your senses.
{two_thumbs_up} Atta boy!!!

Small boats, long distances...
Thanks for the sentiments fellas. I had thought I was ahead on things and had a few more years before anything else BIG came due. Oh well, onward through the fog...

Great news Mike. Your boat is too nice to give up.
Alberg designs and Maine sailing waters, is there a better union? Very good to hear you'll be maintaining stewardship of Sea Glass.

That looks a lot like Wisconsin. I spent 3 weeks there this winter and shoveled the white stuff almost every day I was there.

A man can succeed at almost anything for which he has unlimited enthusiam.
Looks like Ithaca too. I got so tired of the late spring this year that I'm moving back to Maryland this summer, and I have sworn never to live north of the Mason-Dixon line again. Good to hear from you.
winter has been kind to us here in maryland. let me know where you settle and maybe we can meet up this summer.

how long will it take for that big
chunk of ice on your boat to melt?
Been awhile since I've updated this thread.
The good news is that I finally got the tarp off Sea Glass and started doing some clean-up and mucking about.
The bad news however, is that Sea Glass will not be splashed yet again this season.
But the good news is that I AM sailing another exceptional Alberg designed boat this Summer!
The bad news is that she is not mine, but through a series of serendipitous events, I am now fostering a Sea Sprite 23 while I help the owner sell her.
Meet Totoro. A 1977 CE Ryder Sea Sprite 23. Incidentally, her decks were also redone by the capable hands of one Mr. Tim Lackey. Get in touch if you or someone you know would like to buy an excellent boat in great condition. Details here: Sea Sprite 23 Classifieds

That is a sweet little ride. Love the oars. Where ate the oar locks? An Alberg?

The owner made those oars along with an almost finished Bolger designed stitch and glue dinghy, which also goes with Totoro - unless I buy it and finish it myself. Oar locks are one of the first of the "care and feeding" projects to do. Feels great to get back out on the water in a pretty boat.

Ha! Yeah, I saw that - it seems like I should at least know the guy being in the same town and all.
Update:
So Totoro was sold last August, but the new owner still hasn't picked her up.
What a fantastic and pretty design by Mr. Alberg! The SS23 is a really nice little sailing vessel, but tight down below.
...nd Sea Glass has missed another season. I've done a couple of things on her but just didn't get the inertia going to get her ready.
I have gotten some sailing in on a friend's Rozinante though!
