IS Vermont Going To Be Like The Carolinas?

SHIP'S LOG:

A dear friend of mine , who has been reading the blog, dropped a veiled warning that Internet Access in Vermont is a sometimes thing. I gather that with all of the mountains, the line of sight signals for cell phones, and hence "WiFi" can be rather iffy depending on where you are. Skip & Nancy, who own the Vermont property, say that to use their cell phones it is necessary to go out on the porch top get service. A wonderful thought in a blizzard!

Still no word from the boatyard and/or the powers that be. Both will come in time and worrying about it doesn't make it happen any faster. It will come when it comes.

Three boats alone remain in the TYC mooring field. It is really barren now. Two are undoubtedly still here simply because their owners haven't gotten around to hauling them. When the Indian Summer breaks, they will be here quickly, probably kicking themselves for waiting as long as they have. The last is own by Mike, who is still planning one last trip to Block Island and Greenport, NY. Mike seems to get out to Block Island as often as he possibly can during the season. He loves the place. If he could afford to buy a place out there he probably would and live there fulltime. being a politician, be would probably run for mayor or king or whatever the head puba of the place is called.

I'll have to find new digs by Saturday as that is when the TYC Clubhouse is shut down. No water, no heat and everything locked up. If all goes according to plan, always remembering that Custer had a plan, ABISHAG will be unloaded on Thursday, in or out of the water, and I will be off to Maine, probably on Sunday or Monday. I am scouting around for some good winter boots to add to my rather limited wardrobe as I suspect that we are going to get hammered again this winter.
Even though I haven't seen snow in about two years, the freak storm of a couple of weeks back notwithstanding, I still hate it. It looks wonderful but going out in it is not something I am looking forward to with any relish whatsoever. Too bad someone hasn't got a condo in Florida I could watch!
