Three days ago, the Shipyard Cup was reinstated as a big boat race. The boats had to be 70' or longer, though an exception was made for Available, Tim Hodgdon's spec boat, because he was a major sponsor of the race. The weather was divine, and after a day spent taking Tom and Alida Fitzpatrick, friends from CSUMB days, out on Priscilla, I filled Priscilla up with more friends to watch the races on Saturday and Sunday.It was magnificent weather, with a 7-15 knot breeze, and 6 big boats racing with the Weyant, a topsail schooner standing by. Us little boats just sailed in circles watching. This one here is Tenacious, owned by Southport people, the Bosarge's. She lost the first one and won the second race, though you can check the final standings on http://www.theshipyardcup.com/.

Then,
Sarah Katherine Smith turned 8 yesterday at the American Girl Doll store in Natick, Mass., with her other grandmother, grandpa Joel, her mother and her sisters, and me. It was a grand moment; the dolls got their hair done and their ears pierced; we all shopped, and the girls got to spend some of their own money.
I am a very happy grandma!
