Wifey B: I think I saw how much the flybridge was loved about 79 times or something but they are so incredible. We love them for real serious cruising. Unfortunately, our fast boat doesn't have one.

Did I see a smudge mark on our new table? [emoji4]
Smudge mark...? Smudge mark?
I do believe you are referring to a shadow from rain on the window!

Mystic is one of my favorite memories as a kid. Very cool place. When I was about 10 years old I listened to the first moon landing with a group of people gathered around a transistor radio on the Mystic pier surrounded by historic sailing ships.
We simply love the place. We've been taking trips here by car and by boat for 20 years as a couple and never tire of the experience.

Maybe we should include it on our next trip up the coast. Sure a long narrow channel in.
We got significantly side tracked so haven't done any detailed planning of our next trip.
We are finally off of the dock and out cruising! We're heading into Boston for a couple of days to escape a bit of a nor'easter.
Life is definitely good!

Better by boat than by car! I love Boston but hate driving there.
Should be fun...

We left a day early to get out ahead of that same storm. Currently in Boothbay Harbor. Headed for Camden Maine tomorrow. Plan to stay a few days. Let me know if you're going to be in the area.

Last week in Key West we were fortunate to meet our good friends Bruce and Dorsey.
As well as enjoying them very much, they did us the honors of their gorgeous new American Tug boat Esmeralde.
Esmeralde is awesome. At this level of quality I am aware that every detail has been elaborated and thoroughly explored by Bruce and Dorsey then crafted. With the benefit of their huge experience in boating and sailing also thanks to their vision, the outcome of that is a boat of top quality with premium upgrades, defined by performance at sea, onboard comfort and owner-operator capability.
Our sincere congratulations on this outstanding project achievement by two very talented and great persons.

Wifey B: They knew what they wanted and how to get it and worked hard to insure they would. Chose a good builder who delivered. Now, their shipping company......well, um....if I recall some hiccups crossing the country but all ended well.

You are right.
The lesson in this is that they have successfully implemented a strategy often defined by the expression "Think global, Act local", which was to keep in mind their global objectives at every level of detail
.Still about Bruce and Dorsey,
They were recently interviewed for an article about “fast trawlers” in Soundings magazine, a boating magazine distributed in the United States. I have included screen shots of the pages in the article that talk about them.
I was so pleased for them.
Congratulations for a well-deserved recognition.
