Rainy Days and Tuesdays

Howard Stearn's 125' Broward yacht with Mini Cooper and runabout on the top deck.
The 52' Riva next to it also belongs to Stearn. Both are named "Indiscretion".

Tuesday morning was pretty much as predicted. Overcast, windy, and rainy. We didn't really have any hard rain, just a lot of it. It rained pretty much all day off and on. We had been saving the North Carolina Mariners Museum for today, and we gave it a good going over. I had been there twice before, but Rich hadn't. It is a very good place to spend a rainy afternoon, and a lot of other people had the same thoughts. Across the street from the museum is the boat house, where volunteer workers build  traditional wood boats and rebuild old ones. You can stand there and watch them work on whatever project is underway, and a nice gentleman conversed with us for about twenty minutes about what projects they were currently working on. The museum admission is free, but they do accept donations and suggest five dollars. They build a nice traditional sailboat every year and raffle it off around Christmas. I've bought tickets for two years but have yet to win!
