Photos and Follow Ups

Remember the request we had for an interview with a Mariner 36?  Roz and JC Harris from the New York City area will be featured in the July 2005 Soundings Magazine.  You may remember Roz's recipe for chocolate candies in a previous newsletter. 

Sue and Jim Shilling requested and received permission from the artist to reproduce a watercolor for use on their  new boat, Arcadia,   Here are the results.  Click on the photo to see it in a larger size.

And here's how it looked at anchor in Worton Creek.

Finally, let me try not to get into too much trouble here.  It was unusual to hear construction sounds at our marina last weekend.  It was even more unusual to see these two hard at work, building a deck enhancement.  You may receive many emails offering a bigger deck - these guys actually went out and made their's bigger.  There is some dispute about who has the bigger deck and some potential contests to make this determination.

The handsome young man on the left is Ron Cohen, of Watercolors.  Ron may know something about building as his company, The Iron Shop, builds spiral staircases and stuff.  The young man on the right is Paul Meyer, of MacBelieve.  Paul is a radiologist and assures me that the new, enhanced deck is structurally sound.  I should mention that he squished the deck flat between two glass plates to make this determination.

On a slightly more serious note, Paul's t-shirt advertises the Susan Komen Run for the Cure.  Paul's wife is a breast cancer survivor and I salute their efforts to end this terrible disease.

Saturday Night Out

The Wild Duck Cafe became the latest victim of our Saturday Night Out.  The weather was terrible, the service mediocre, the food average at best, and a good time was had by most people.  For the photos that could be shown on the web site, go to http://carverownersclub.com/photos/gallery.php?member=1115859127

Soot Problems with 2000 396 with Diesel Engines

One of our members is experiencing problems with soot coming into the boat from an incomplete seal, apparently from the swim platform.  If you have had this repair made, contact me so I can pass along the information.
