“A diplomat is a man who always remembers a woman’s birthday but never remembers her age”

~ Robert Frost~




Most of our basic boat needs have already been purchased, but when there are birthdays, the practical approach would be to buy each other boat related gifts.
…my birthday stash….
Everyday this week there has been another treat carefully and thoughtfully wrapped and presented with love….
Some laminated quick reference guides for our boat binder…
My very own shackle key and cutting tool…
A Marlinspike and cutting tool…
A hand bearing compass…
And if all else fails…a shot of scotch to fend off the tears…

One of my sisters sent me the following card for my birthday.
…very appropriate indeed…




…so here’s to many happy returns, accessorizing (the boat)…
…and of course, pretty (boat) shoes…
