Gatsby

My brother Dave & and his wife Mary live in Annapolis. Been die hard sailors for many years and have a 37' sailboat. As early senility (and creaking joints) set in, they decided having a boat that depended entirely on its motor for propulsion might make a good addition to the fleet. So they acquired Gatsby, a 43' trawler and brought it home to Annapolis a few weeks ago.

Good looking boat, even though it has no masts.
















But living conditions look quite primitive.


What? No fireplace? This won't do.








And shouldn't there be at least at baby grand piano here? I'm disappointed.














But she does have a nice nose. A bit broad in the beam, but just fits into the home slip.


Dave and Mary plan on taking Gatsby on The Loop over the next couple years. So, if I don't make it to Annapolis, might catch a ride somewhere in the Great Lakes or the Mississippi.
