240228 A Bolger 'Micro' and a Lillistone 'Phoenix III' sail to Adams Beach 

Glad you enjoyed it. The mizzen on the transom is excellent and helps one to heave to. I have on my smaller Piccup Pram and love it.

It's a nice spot Clem. Water is usually clear and the bottom is sandy.

Yes, a nice spot and only 5+ nm from home.Did you notice Ivan's new, additional boat.

Yes, unfortunately that can be the case. Some weekends are quieter than others and so enjoyable too.

Thanks, we're gradually learning the ropes and new cameras.

Hi Rowdy ... Since the death of Phil Bolger some years ago, there is no single website where all his numerous boat plans are available. However, the "Common Sense Boats" website still sells a small selection of Bolger plans, including the Micro: www.common-sense-boats.com/ common-sense-boats.com/micro.html All Bolger's plans are very basic - there are no "instructions" or even a materials list included, and he assumes you already know the basics of small dinghy building. However, everything you need to know to build the boat is in the drawings. He does include a recommended building sequence list - start at the top of that list, and by the time you've ticked off the last item your boat will be finished! An alternative source of Phil's plans might be his widow, Susanne Altenburger. I believe her address is: 29 Ferry Street Gloucester MA 01930 USA OR PO Box 1209 Gloucester MA 01930 USA Hope this helps!

The RU-vid system automatically sends a notification to the channel admins whenever a comment is made, and the name "Rowdy" appeared on that notification.

I agree. An excellent cruising rig.

Yep, they're really easy to handle.
