Susanne practicing her knots.

I hope she gets it right the first time...July 2004...George

Not sure about that!

Well some people really want to keep out of the sun...the way our winter was I sure would love some warm sun...George

Times at Grand Bend.

A shady day during the summer of 2003.
We have a new scanner now that I was playing around with. Here are a few photos from my days on our old Tanzer 10 plus years ago. I actually scanned the one photo for our daughter as she was wondering about shade this coming summer when their boat goes in. The awning is actually just sail material cut and fitted with battens by Boston Sails for us...George

Hey that's me at Grand Bend back during the summer of 2004

Kyle and Dee's Boat Slip - Bayfield

Our kids slip is the one that has the power boat in, second from the end. Oh that's Brad, my granddaughter Grace and I in the dingy last summer.
Our daughter Danielle and Kyle are launching their sailboat once again this spring. They have a slip secured in the lakefront basin not far from ours. Now to get rid of the snow...George

An end of season view of the lakefront basin. There is a sailboat still in our kids slip in this photo. They will not have far to go to exiting the basin. They also have a great view of the lake from the Adirondack chairs on the other side of the walkway by their slip.

Winter Wonderland

I took this photo just outside of Cabot, Vermont. We stopped in Cabot to load up with Vermont Cheese at the large cheese plant. The samples became our lunch.
I was away for a week  as a tag along with my friend Andy after our friend Gary could not make it. A road trip for sure. Northern Vermont, through New Hampshire into Maine. In Maine we visited LL Bean then off to Massachusetts to visit with some mutual friends and out to dinner. We high tailed it away from the Boston area before the big storm moved in....George

We got a laugh out of this sign in Northern Vermont...we have a friend with this as a nick name.
Heading north out of Stowe, Vermont.
Although we did not see much snow on this trip Northern Vermont had its fill.
The covered bridge located in Bath NH. has got new siding applied.

Old Black and White Photos


I got a new photo scanner this week and decided to pulled out some old negatives. One from 1973 is of my dad in his workshop. Back then he owned a radio and TV repair shop. The equipment in the background looked high tech back then. Now the view looks like a mad scientist from an old movie....George
