My neighbor down at the camp has an old Old Town runabout that he has really taken care of. It is beautiful. He has a twenty horse on it and it just doesn't need any more power.

We built a plank on frame boat a few years ago. It was quite something. We do the larger cold molded boats now. We have actually gotten quite good at it. They are very strong for the weight and cheaper than carbon fiber boats. I love how well they will hold up cosmetically... unless some one is careless with a dock or comes too close to a buoy. Stop in for a tour sometime at BBY.

Love to, and will just as soon as I get some of those auful details involved with planning to move and actually starting to build something that are driving me crazy under control. I am in Brooklin too infrequently now, but every time I am there, I drive down to the water at BBY and watch developments.

I was in Brooklin on Sunday seeing my family. Didn't go to the boatyard, or even to Naskeag Point. Probably should of gone for one last look, but I can do that when I come back to visit.

Go in and check out the progress on the 90'. I'm dreading next spring, with trying to launch that beast and getting all our other service work done. What an awfull predicament to be in... too much work!

I used to swim at Brooklin Boat Yard many moons ago. Water there was much warmer than at my uncle's camp on Blue Hill Bay.
