Morgaine
Lady of the Lake
My dad tells me that since he was in high school, he wanted to build a
boat. He tells a story about how my grandpa built a dory in the attic
of the 3 story house he was born in, and how grandpa had to lower it
out of the window because it wouldn't fit down the stairs. When I
started building Morgaine, he would come over everday to see the
project. Even in the year or so that I didn't work on the boat, he
would drop by and ask, "when are you going to finish the boat?" I've
wanted to take him sailing for a long time but during the winter and
spring the water was too cold for him. He turned 80 this June. He is
the youngest of nine and I am his youngest...I suppose that helps
explain the 40+ years between us.

Thunderstorms - in the Morning
The weather started out bad, but by
afternoon it was clear and breezy. We were off the lake and on our way
out of the area when another group of thunderstorms worked their way
onto Echo Bay.
