My View of Life on the Dock
Fiesta Saturday at Cape Ann Brewing, originally uploaded by captjoe06.
The brewery tours were pretty popular as when one would start a whole gaggle of folks headed into the back to get the first hand brewery experience.
Very laid back especially for being in the heart of the Fiesta.

The USS Whidbey Island moored in the outer harbor. Look at the size of the ship tied up alongside it. It is dwarfed by the size of the Navy ship.

Here is a picture of the boat that is tied up next to The USS Whidbey. It looks massive inside our harbor but tiny alongside the Whidbey.

In case any of my loyal readers thought I was going to leave you hanging on the complete abandonment Lazy Daizy Restoration Project, here is the latest photo of it’s progress in the month of June. I wonder how much the rent is each month on a boat that doesn’t leave the dock.

If you notice on the rudder there is a silver zinc and also on the bottom of the keel.
The reason that boat owners replace the zincs when they haul out is because electrolysis eats away at metal under the water line on a boat but it eats away at the zincs first so the rest of the metal goes untouched by the electrolysis. If the boat owner keeps up on replacing the zincs when they get eaten away the other metal below the boat will stay in better shape over time.
