Bringing Home Tashtego and Finding a Rusty Rooster

In mid-May Irv and I went to Olympia Washington to bring home our new baby - a 19 foot wooden sailboat built by Grapeview Point Boatworks.  The weather in Olympia was (unusually) spectacular - sunny and 80+ degrees.    She is, by any stretch of the imagination - a beauty.

During the course of one afternoon, I had a chance to walk around downtown Olympia, and lo! and behold! I found A Rusty Rooster......as you can see from the photos, I thought I had died and gone to heaven.  A beautiful day, a great boat, and an antique store with vintage cookware piled high to the ceiling!
