    At Block Island recently,

    There must have been 10 different Posts from a vintage 42 to a newer 50 on the Pond last week....

    There is an older 42 (named "Post Time" I think) that docks near Dead Eye Dicks is a real nice looking 42.

    For us northern Post owners, that might be a great spot to meet, or some where in the fishtail?? I'd like to go to Maryland, but I still have a business to run.
    BTW, I can't seem to connect to the new Post web site. Is it me?

    We always see a decent showing of Posts on Block at Payne's. Fun spot if you don't mind rafting when it's busy. Always interesting to watch the seasoned dock hands jockey the boats around during the 4th holiday. It's also within walking distance to town.

    Lou, how was the trip? Beau is correct that would be a great trip for us LI'ders. Beau I was at the dock yesterday when you went past, looks great. I am almost done in the interior, I was putting on hopefully what I think could be the last coat of varnish on the teak and holly.

    Lou, I hope you had a great time in the Pond, too bad for the rain. This year I will be tied to the dock, except for short runs, as I am making changes to my 46. If I can figure out how to send pics I will gladly put up pics as I progress. I am just about done with all the interior changes, next is to take care of outside teak, the bridge and outside of the salon. Take Care Scott
