In 2006 I set out to find a Drascombe Coaster. This is the continuing story of how it came to be, our sailing adventures, and notes on our maritime world...

Gwynn

I have been sorting through equipment with thoughts on spring. There are a pack of checklists, some dating back to camping trips in the early 90's. Not sure why I keep them... so much has been weeded out in the past couple years.

Just finished a painting of a deadrise crabber that has been on the easel for what seems like forever. I now feel that it is resolved and its on to another. Maybe I'll have a go at a rousing run onboard Annie. Where I would like to be today... if it wasn't 30 degrees outside!

As to Annie I have pretty much decided to move her to Gwynn Island on the Piankatank River. There is a storage there near a good boat ramp and it is 25 minutes closer to Richmond. Sailed there last fall and it is an easy location to access the Chesapeake Bay. 




View from the northwest. The storage is at the right end of the bridge and the launch at the other. The Bay is beyond.

Hey there!

I came here via Steve Earley's "Log of Spartina".

I see you're going to move your boat to the storage facility on Milford Haven Inlet behind Gwynn. I keep my tired old 1968 Pearson in Queens Creek, just a stone's throw from there.

I also see you mention Richmond - I live in the "far" west end - Short Pump, in western Henrico County. I'd love to see your pretty boat in person someday.
