Marjorie D is now a sailboat as well as my rowboat. Randy finally got her rigged - it was a bit complicated, building a rudder and centreboard, fitting a mast made of bamboo from Dominica and a sprit made of a dowel from the USVI, and introducing words like "gudgeons and pintles" into my vocabulary - and on her inaugural sail, she moved along very nicely in a very light breeze.

Marjorie is all growed up. Looks great. Very fancy and all. Happy Mother's Day Sue.
