Excessive Hardship

[Hughman]

Last sail of the 2008 season, or, how I spent Election Day:


1954 Bud Macintosh schooner, "Advent"

"Advent" has been rebuilt over the last three years, and was recently relaunched

A gentle day, fine weather for exploring the harbor.

The owner and his dog:

After mooring, we removed the sails, gaffs, and booms. Tomorrow, the sticks come out, and "Advent" will hibernate for the winter.

Katherine, I think that I'd rather not know, and just let my imagination run rampant... <wink, grin>

(Sorry, but you left yourself so open for that, and I couldn't resist!)
