Sailing on Inland Seas: How to Make a 14 Foot Boat Bigger
http://inlandpacket.blogspot.com/2015/05/how-to-make-14-foot-boat-bigger.html
Saturday, May 09, 2015. How to Make a 14 Foot Boat Bigger. She might not be the youngest girl at the ball but she'll turn a head or two. To make a 14 foot boat bigger, wax it by hand. I will admit I don't think Esmerelda. Has been this white as long as I've had her. She's a long way from looking new but wow what a difference a good cleaning and wax will do. Same thing happened when I had my Beetle. Shines up a like a new penny. A bungee rigged between the the thwarts and a wooden V on the tiller. No ...

Thursday, April 30, 2015. Beats a Day at the Office. From the Log of SV Esmerelda:. Location: Big Arm Bay. Weather Gusty, Changing, blowing winds. Mainly SW 5kts and climbing steadily. Sailed with Jim Young and. Yes it was quite a first sail! Two fine boats. Sure beats a day at the office! Eventually we got to the business of sailing and it was quite a day for that! Look at that fine lug sail! I'm not quite standing still here but MAN can that boat move! Jim did this for 200 miles in the Texas 200! Makin...

Sailing on Inland Seas: June 2015
http://inlandpacket.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 07, 2015. Spend Friday and Saturday on the lake. Installed new bunks on the trailer today. Just another weekend. Even becalmed the lake is wonderful. Motoring in as the light ends. Sunset in Big Arm Bay. Boats on the hard. Not for long though. Wing and wing on the way home. Wednesday, June 03, 2015. Looks a littler closer to this now. So I was cruising the interwebs last night and came across a great blog about a 1958 Lido restoration: https:/ restorealido14.wordpress.com. Just a bit too long.

Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Dreaming of Smaller Boats. Schock's definitive family sailboat doing what it does best. Photo by S/V Desdemona. This will end up being one of this rambly posts that those of us in the boat building/owning blogsphere are infamous for. I have several already on this very blog so add some wood to the fire, get a good foot reast and bile up a pot of tay. We need to talk about the next boat. She really is a crew boat. At least one other hand is so nice to have it's almost a necessit...

Sailing on Inland Seas: October 2014
http://inlandpacket.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 10, 2014. A Gift From Polson Bay. Quite recently I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. The flare up that led to my diagnosis seems to be fading but I was left with a real fear about my future as a solo sailor.Would I have the strength to sail alone? Tomorrow we have a wind advisory. Fresh breeze with gale force gusts. And then rain. The signs were not good. The flags hung limp and the water glassy as I drove along the waterfront. I was resigned to the gas usage when just before...The w...

Sailing on Inland Seas: So I Want to Build a Boat...
http://inlandpacket.blogspot.com/p/so-i-want-to-build-boat.html
So I Want to Build a Boat. So you, like me have the urge to build a boat. You've either wanted it your whole life or it simply washed over you in the past few hours. This is normal and perfectly acceptable. You're not the first and are far from the last. I offer this page as a word of kind advice and caution. I figure a list would be the easiest way. 1 Skip the Eight Foot Boat (EFB) Unless it's a PPR. This is a huge temptation. Smaller is easier right? Also they are so cute! Don't fall into this trap.
