This morning I had great visions. Over the night we had received a good blast of Winter and were left with 5" of fluffy Powder and a solid 25-30 Knots of WNW Winds and having been doing some time downstairs in my shop I was really keen to get out and test a proto speed board. I wasn't discouraged by the 29 degree temp and I wasn't discouraged by the 5" of snow however I was discouraged by the fact that Dykes Bridge(Kennedy's Bridge) was chained off by the Trustees of Reservation. I knew the 4X4 roads out on Cape Poge were still in rough shape from Hurricane Sandy but I was really surprised to find the only vehicle access to be fully shut down.
I looked at a few other places but to no avail everything was chopped up and had tough wind angles. The one bonus to it all was that it was really nice to take my wife out for a beautiful drive around Chappaquidick with a hot cup of coffee in hand. With all that said it looks like the arctic air has fully set in and MVY will be enjoying some very chilly weather....Now how am I going to test this board?
All this cold weather is quite a change from last week when I was in Ft. Lauderdale setting up Vesper. The boat had been trucked from San Francisco last week and it was nice to get down to Florida and set it up. Prior to the trip I had been speaking with Brian Scall at the Dancing Turtle and he was asking me some questions about how the boat goes together so I thought I would include this quick little shot of the boat going on the keel.
