Autumn Sail

Melon Seed Skiff "Nancy Lee" was featured recently on 1001 Boats, pictures and details were kindly sent by Roger Rodibaugh who sails Nancy Lee (named after his wife Nancy) in Lafayette, Indiana.

It was a great surprise when a card dropped through the post box a few days ago, Roger and Nancy have created a card using images of Nancy lee with the accompanying words which absolutely sum up a cold but exciting winter sail .



Autumn Sail

Brisk wind
Stiff sail
Icy chop
Dripping rail
Bracing spray
Tugging sheet
Red nose
Cold feet
Roaring bow wave
Frozen fingers
Big grin
Joy that lingers

    I imagined being there! No more needed to be said. I want a small boat again.

    Baydog, you would be fabulous in a Melon Seed. Have you seen:

    My good friends would even help you build one, if you like, which would give you something to do in your spare time. You remember "spare time". It's a concept out of the '50's

    Brisk wind
    Stiff gale
    Icy chop
    Time for ale
    Bracing spray
    Redirect feet
    Red nose
    At the pub to meet
    Foaming head
    Salty fingers
    Big grin
    Joy that lingers
