Really On Top Of History

Burlington, VT
NoLL

We decided to spend a second night ashore. Can you imagine that? But that meant that I had to return to the boat to run the engine for a while to recharge the battery. With a freezer and fridge on board, and only 50w of solar power, we must recharge every day.

When I returned to Tarwathie, I was surprised to find a team of scuba divers swimming around and under her. "What could they be up to?" I thought. After talking with them, I learned that is was a class learning marine archeology, and that they had found a wreck directly under where Tarwathie sits in 8 feet of water. There are numerous wrecks in the immediate vicinity so it was not a big surprise.

Anyhow, I told them that they would be welcome to an architecturally significant old zinc if they were willing to remove it from Tarwathie and to screw on a new replacement zinc I have ready to go. Too bad, they were too smart to be fooled by me :)
