Almost time to weigh anchor and head south.

If for display and not for height try a ground spike (angle iron) and tube fabricated by local welder. Add a pair of small foot tabs to help set the spike in the soil.
Ikea had some nice one piece curtain rod with end caps at 7- 8' or try a lumber yard for closet poles of suitable diameter and length for your flag
I used the curtain rod painted black and gold leafed the finial, brass eye screws attach the 3x5 roger.

I already spend a lot of time out there just handling every part of the hull. It is a constant battle to keep up with the refurbishing part, and I just lost my job again. I am a creature of habit and I do like a methodical static lifestyle. Change and surprises I don't care much for. I hope to still get her in the water by June 13th, my target date. Maybe I'll just launch on the Mississippi, float/sail to the Gulf and sail off to the southern hemisphere never to be seen or heard from again. There's worse ways to go.

Hummmm... Bo, this sounds like the start of a new adventure story.

Pointy scabbard tips, em' buggers always seem to poke ye when least expected.
Has anyone come up with a plan to de-poke the tip? I was considering a brass ball slotted to fit and soldered on.
Any other thoughts?

Oooo... where's the Like button?
Is there a tutorial for this to make it?
Hummmm...
Lady B has a point. Would be a neat item to brush potato chips and such off ones weskit.

Thank you Cassandra, but that shouldn't be necessary. Truth be told, though we live in a temperate rain forest, all of our family from the lower 48 just hear 'Alaska' and assume we live in an igloo and fight polar bears bare handed. We've got a few blankets in the closet. However, this one is a very handy size for draping over a car seat and has the nice decorative holes to help prevent babies from smothering themselves and gives him a nice 'tactile exploration' during car rides.

Me brother-in-law is in Anchorage, Alaska. From what I've been told... He fights Polar Bears one-handed, eats Salmon, kicks Moose off his deck, pans gold, and frequents the Great Alaskan Bush Co.

Bo.... between work and refinishing 'Breezy' soon you'll have arms like Popeye.
Down loading photos is still a chore for me also.
Old dudes rule!

The past two days have been cooling off a bit so I've been wearing my new dark gray w/green stripe Monmouth cap, a custom order by KK.

Yes, it becomes an obsession. Another that I ordered at the same time as the gray/green Monmouth was a Whaler with wool from a local Historical Farm-Museum.
The wool was from their Cotswold sheep and dyed with marigolds into a very pale yellow color... turned out great.

Not hard... she does nice work.
Even M'lady enjoys 'em in His/Hers models. Hers have an more obscure loop knited into the backs.
Fashionable enough to have been seen on NYC's 5 Ave, says I.
Contrary to KK's suggestion of a thrum on 5 th would start a new fashion statement, the Captain lacks the fortitude for that.

Then you're the one responsible for my collection from Kristen.

Check out Kristen's Etsy site for a brimmed Monmouth... looks like a wool top hat, well sort'a.
