We had a full day of cupcake baking and potato salad making scheduled but when I mentioned taking a trip to Tyler's Beach to check the set of the new pram sail on the new spars, Skipper dropped her apron and grabbed her hat. The sail photos will be coming 01 July in Small Boats Magazine, plus we'll post a few more that they didn't use. There's something to be said for a sail rig that fits inside your car...
While at the ramp we checked in on the dwindling deadrise fleet, only two remain. We hope their owners have plans to use them, although both have been in various stages of sinking over the past year.
A third boat was unceremoniously burned and then drug over the seawall a few months back, then bulldozed. Her pile is dwindling but part of the keel and bow remain, offering a study on how the cross planked deadrise was built.
Part of me wanted to check with the County and see if they'd like me to remove what remains, maybe replace the missing parts, but Skipper says it has hauntedvirus. So we'll watch the rest of it slowly disappear.
