Went to the WoodenBoat Show yesterday. Greeat as usual, but I was disappointed that a boat that has a hybred propulsion system did not makke there. Iwas looking forward to seeing it.  Saw kim and all the people from WoodenBoat, Matt, Carl, Mike, Scott. Sorry Rich didn't make it. I thenwent to Westport, Ma. to see the Friendship sloop. It is beautiful, well maintained and reasonablly priced.  I will look at the Meadowlark again, I hope, and make a decision soon.

Went to maine to see an Herreshoff H-28, and then down to Essex, Ma. to see a dinghy. I'm not going to buy either, but had a great lunch at Woodman's of Essex. Clams, fries, onion rings. Really good!  Stop by if your're ever in the area. 

This is going to be a busy week, boatwise. I go to Maine to look at a boat tomorrow, along with a dingy in Mass. Then on Tuesday, hopefully, I go up to Lake Champlain to look at a leeboard ketch. Finally, on Friday I go the the WoodenBoat Show at Mystic Seaport and hopefully there might be one or two for sale there. Then I am going the see a well known Friendship Sloop in Westport, Mass. So By the end of the month I hope to be aboard something and on my way to a new life, living aboard and cruising.
