Lyra’s windlass has been slipping when we haul anchor. Here’s why - the friction plate is worn out and to a high polish. After a day on the phone, I’ve: 1) figured out how to search for it 2) discovered that the customer service at clutch manufacturing companies is very good 3) finally found a sheet of Kevlar woven friction plate that I am willing to pay for Once I get the sheet, I’ll still need to duplicate these, but it should make all the difference! Meanwhile, the aluminum base is getting a proper paint job to keep salt corrosion at bay. . . . . #onwatchsailing #windlass #haulmyanchor #sv_lyra #oldbutgood

Shields Class headed home from a summer evening race, caught by us on the way home for the night just off Goat Island.

The lovely Schooner Eleanora getting ready to round the green buoy in the final leg a race in 2017. She is an exact replica of the famous Herreshoff 1910 schooner Westward, then captained by the legendary Captain Charley Barr (he’s fascinating reading if you have time). Eleanora was launched in 2000. . . . . #onwatchsailing #charternewengland #mysailinglife #ageofsail #herreshoff #newportshipyard #newport #newportri #yachtsofnewport #newportharbor #clingstone #jamestownri #pellbridge

Good morning! This is an old sunrise at sea shot. It’s always a haul in the last dark hour of the morning watch, just keeping your eyes open is foreign to the body’s natural rhythms (mine anyway). And then the sun comes and all is well. ☀️ . . . . . #onwatchsailing #sunrise #sunriseatsea #carolinasunrise #cwmysailinglife

... And that same day - Lyra as close to the course as you can get and in the thick of things. I only got asked to divert by a race official once that day 😉 . . . . . . #onwatchsailing #sv_lyra #jclass #newport #newportri #sailing #sailingcharter #charternewport #charternewengland
