Half a Day Away

It is the Labor Day weekend, and that means that some folks have to be laboring.  Here’s a roster of harbor habitués who will likely NOT be at the race because they will be doing what they’re intended to do:  tug, tow, assist, etc.

Priorities win though.  Hats off to all crews who need to do regular work tomorrow.

No Name Fleet 3 Follow-up

Back in November 2009, I did this post and I’ll repost two of my fotos from then, showing a 1940 Chris Craft and a 1939 ACF, slightly tweaked here

and here.

Earlier this week, Darrin Rice got these followup pics.

I find these poignant, yet there is some buoyancy in that

it appears this old vessel is being taken apart with care so that

planks and sections of them can be recycled, evoking what’s happening nearby.   You couldn’t do this with old fiberglass.

Many thanks to Darrin Rice for these fotos.

Here’s a site dedicated to antique and classic wooden boats in varying states of repair.

Here are some tugster posts on projects and collections.
