Peter, the window guy working on the windows at the cruising club dock.  He was out to the boat at least 5 times as the windows leaked after install.
A little swallow comes to visit us in the river.  Unfortunately, they leave little presents all over the deck.
Marquetry on See Adler, a 70' Hinckley--beautiful woodworking.

Karen at the boat swap with our stuff.  We sold a lot and made some money!  Like a yachtie garage sale.
Jason giving Jason final instructions on how to finish our aluminum dinghy.

The windows are back in.  That's Jason's survival suit holding it in.  But it still leaked....

Holding down the plastic over our windows.  We had every conceivable container used!
