The boat's getting splashed this week

I just learned how to put photos here.

So we're looking forward to more of this. Last fall off Hart-Miller Island in Chesapeake Bay. Pooles Island strait ahead, and if you look really closely, you can see the beautiful fall colors.

Kids have proposed naming this one "Butters", after a character in SouthPark. Don't ask me why. It is a Shellback dinghy 11' 2" long and has a sailing rig. Hardest part building it was making the spars. From a kit supplied by Chesapeake Light Craft in Annapolis. If we build another one it would be the Passagmaker dinghy, which has a nesting option.
