I just caught up with this. Hi Jeff, Thanks for posting! Liz

thanks. Liz

I'll just be at the party due to another commitment during the day. See you at around 5:30 PM or so. Liz

At an NSPN trip -- I think it was Lobster Buoy -- someone contributed Green Chili to the pot luck. It was the best Green Chili I have ever tasted. Would the chef be willing to share the recipe? Liz

Cam at Maine Sport Outfitters fixes my skeg. Liz

Thanks for the advice. I was thinking 6MM looked too big. I'll see if West Marine has 3/16" since I need it now. Liz

I have been trying to find new bungee cord for my decks but locally all they have is 1/4 inch and it is too big to go through the fittings of my Valley Nordkapp. West Marine has this: https://www.westmarine.com/new-england-ropes-6mm-shock-cord-sold-by-the-foot-17986886.html at 6 mm it is a tiny bit smaller. Does anyone know if that would work? Other suggestions? Liz

I'm in. I've done this many times. Great fun. Liz

I'm in, schedule permitting. Liz

I've seen it. I'd love to help. I could donate lots of bubble wrap -- ugh, plastic, I know -- to fill the cavity and keep it buoyant for the tow. Of course, it would be riding very high and get blown around if there is wind ... Liz

They air lifted it. Pretty impressive. I think they are sparrows but only got a quick glimpse of Mom.

I leave my Tilley handing in my garage, with other critical gear. Yesterday I noticed some twigs sticking out. I moved the hat slightly and there was a tussle inside so I stopped and did not actually look inside. I thought about ditching the nest so I can use my favorite hat for May paddles, but today Mom and Dad were out and I gently took it down (using the neck strap) and inside were 3 TINY TINY babies. Gotta leave them alone to grow up. Last summer robins roosted on top of my hoe, also hanging in my garage, and raised 2 clutches. Liz
