I presume that, within the small world of WBF, this ranks right up there with Stanley and Livingston. The day before yesterday, I stopped in Meteghan, N.S. and met Michael Mason. He took me around for errands to buy ice and fuel and we had dinner at his favorite establishment where we traded home office naval architect war stories and had a grand time.

This is just the first of several meet ups with WBF folks on this cruise. First though, I have to get around Cape Sable, the Cape Horn of Nova Scotia. I'm currently in Yarmouth where I've spend a day waiting out biblical rains and taking advantage of the free waterfront WiFi.

The Willard Beach Dory got launched although I wasn't there to see it. Barbara is very pleased with it. Hopefully Clint will post a report and some pictures. All I have is a small cell phone photo Barbara sent. If he doesn't, someone please bug him. I'll probably be off battling the tide rips and fog around Cape Sable tomorrow.
