Transitioning 9

This 1962 WYTL has looked like this ever since I first saw her, which was likely 2005. She was built early in the string in WYTLs, earlier than the ones still used in the sixth boro and upriver by the USCG.

The photos above and below I took in 2010 in Mystic, and

this one below at the Great North River tugboat race, 2009.  Move over, Growler, who’s reabsorbed into the James River fleet. And get ready to welcome .  ..

. . . that same smile  !@#!

 

Undaunted!   Details later.

The last three photos come thanks to Jonathan Kabak of the USMMA Sailing Foundation.
