I took this shot of my buddy's boat on a foggy Northeast Harbor morning a few years back. It's a Cape Dory 25D, sweet little boat.
Of course, my daughter's pet hefalump had to be in the shot - good call.

Sailing involves the courage to treasure adventure, and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.

Not in the picture I have, it doesn't show the end of the boom so I guess my picture must be smaller than what others receive which makes me wonder what else I've been missing . . . probably a whole lot in more than just this picture which is kind of strange because I have a large 19" monitor screen.
So how does one expand (or reduce?) the image to include the boom end ???

Me either. But if you right click on the image, then click "view image" you will get the original picture and the heffalump

Good Dad!
Good picture!
Thanks All!
As I recall, those little hefalumps came with us everywhere. Of course they had to be well fed and penned up at night - Lord knows what sort of mischief a pair of hungry hefalumps could cause in the misty dark of night!

We had some great summers cruising the coast of Maine back then.
Honestly, how you could not smile when you faced a friendly hefalump every time you stepped up through the companionway?
That hefalump was a heck of a helmsman!
