Thank you, Pete.

It's a little warm out today (95F/35C), but I was finishing up a few items preparatory to traveling to Maine. The appeal there will Maine's lakes. We may dip a toe in the sea, but it will have to be dead calm, and then only in Frenchman's Bay.

For fun meanwhile, here's a short clip Ann took while touring the harbour at Mystic, CT:

Last Saturday, Steve, his wife Ann, and I met at Blue Marsh Reservoir near Reading, PA to patrol the lake. The fall colors were spectacular, and the weather was great. It is such a treat being able to work the boat without working up a sweat!

It was not easy to convince Allnutt. All his shop training had given him a profound prejudice against inexact work, experimental work, hit-or-miss work.
