1955 Ford F-350
Driving home to Brooklin today in our old truck, for Thanksgiving week. A cold blowy day, gusting 45 knots along the coast, but beautiful changing light. Days are short in ME in November, dark by 4:30. I've passed this guy's house a bunch of times and there's always a very clean 1990s F-150 parked there, this one today was a surprise.
Beetle Cat & Schooner, Eggemoggin Reach
Okay, it's November. Thirty knots of wind and it's only 9:30am. Cold wind, too. Scout was hauled six weeks ago and she won't be in again until late May. But I'm thinking about sailing all the time, and Eggemoggin Reach. Here are a couple of classic downeast Maine wooden vessels, from different ends of the nautical spectrum, with a powerboat in between: a Beetle Cat on a mooring at Center Harbor, and in the b.g. a schooner--I believe Heritage, out of Rockland--Captain Doug Lee--making her way up the Reach.

Dodo Brockman & the 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster
I met George "Dodo" Brockman at the NAPA store in Freeport, Maine. He's a car guy and a speedboat guy. Turns out he went to high school with my mother-in-law. This handsome bomb is his daily driver 12 months of the year which, in Maine, means toughing out 6 months of road salt. Dodo's built some brilliant machines; I plan to visit his shop soon. Right now he's doing a one-off Chris-Craft lake cruiser speedboat powered by Infiniti, Nissan's luxury car marque.
