6/7/12: Today I was going to start on the hull, but it is raining again (oh right, we're in Maine). Conrad just came home for a sandwich because it started raining hard. He is working on the masts, which are off the boat right now, to make sure everything is there, and that the lights and other stuff work. (We'd prefer he not have to climb a mast at sea to change a light bulb,)
I'm puttering around our new temporary home, taking photographs, blogging and reading books that Phyllis has lying around for her guests: Stern Men by Elizabeth Yates, a fictional tale about a girl growing up amidst the competition between the lobstermen on two, small, fictional islands 20 miles off the Miane Coast. The lobstermen sell their catches in Rockland, where our boat is!
The sun comes out briefly and I sit on the porch in a rocking chair reading On Whale Island by Daniel Hays, a true story of his year on a real island north of here, seven miles off of Nova Scotia. He, his wife, and 11 year-old son lived for 12 months in a 14' x 16' two-story house that he and his father built years before - no electricity, refrigeration, or running water except what the three of them create. It is so cold there in the winter that parts of the ocean freeze into blocks of ice, and this guy goes off his Prozac in the middle of their stay! Not my idea of fun, but a very entertaining read.
