Voyage of Exploration and Rose Pruning
And by exploration, I mean sea bottom exploration. Seems that Chart Sounding Confirmation Exercises have been common this year. (Elsa) Elizabeth is a stoutly constructed vessel with a long full keel – perfectly suited for such endeavors. Here are photos of three such explorations, which were conducted in either sand or soft mud. Chart data seems to be correct in all cases. If sailing pleasantly slows life down to where you can smell the roses, then going aground slows life down that much more, allowing one time to plant, water, prune, and weed the rose garden. It’s a nice way to live, and I’m sure Mom would approve.






BCC is Bristol CHANNEL CUTTER, right? I may be confused…all I see is beautiful varnish.
Yes, she’s a Channel Cutter… and the varnish is Bristol Finish. Very fitting on both accounts.
Small world Ben … a talented openboat sailing friend commented on you and Teresa in his blog admiring both the BCC and NorSea … he has a good eye.
