Building Melonseed

The process started 

 

Sailing

Brisk sail on Racquet Lake

Golden Beach

Our campsite at Raquet Lake

Webster New York

 We're staying with Nancy Lewis in our former neighborhood.   Fun visiting with old friends.   

Our camping in Allegheny St Park was notable for the amount of rain and a bear encounter.  We're recovering and fixing up a rip in our Noah's Tarp from our last camping trip to Martha's Vineyard where I thought it was a good idea to fasten one corner to the Jeep. 

Allegheny St Park

People used to ask if I was building an Ark. Doesn't seem so funny now 

First tour for S/V PERSISTENCE

PERSISTENCE ready for her first tour sleeping in a friends garage in Willow Valley.  Today we leave for Allegany State Park in NY and her second sail.  Stops at Golden Beach State Park on Racquet Lake, and Eggermoggen Reach in Maine are planned.  All ready renewing old friendships in the Wooden Boat Building Community. 

Linz

Spent much of yesterday cycling through the City of Linz and surrounding countryside.   Found a very nice family sports complex with a number of swimming pools, tennis courts,  and picnic areas.  Bought a senior day pass for 2.15 Euro.  Didn't spot any other tourist among the hundreds of other visitors.
