Wendy Hyatt of Rockport runs a Kindermusik program that gives children and their parents learning experiences based on movement and music for newborns to preschoolers. She was the previous owner of the Rainbow Day School in Rockport. This looks like a great way to introduce children to music and rhythm as well as meeting other families. You can find out more information on my blog for Cape Ann families at Flapping like a Haddock!
This fan belt and radiator are part of the engine attatched to the Lister. Notice on this fan belt that it is not one continuous belt but a series of interconnecting links that can be taken out or added to to adjust the size of the belt. It’s good to have these aboard boats in case you need to replace a broken one while out at sea.
