come sail away

If you think I’m obsessed with chocolate and pastries and yarn and such, that is nothing compared to Peter’s obsession with sailboats. His boat fever is at a peak right now–the weather is getting nicer, and soon it will be time to launch his boat (it’s in the backyard right now). Today he raised his mast and fit his new sail (from Pope Sails in Rockland, Maine) to make sure it will all work once he’s on the water. He asked me to post some photos so his family and friends can check it out.

And here it is after he attached the bow sprit:

The boat is a 1966 Bristol 24 Sailstar. If anyone wants to go sailing with him, let me know. I get terribly seasick on the ocean, so he often has to sail by himself.
