2020 In Review

Looking back on 2020, it seemed to me I did more planning, fretting, and "getting ready to get ready" than I did any doing. But that isn't necessarily true. Despite, or perhaps because of,  the extraordinary circumstances of 2020, we accomplished a good bit on Gardens of Fenwick. In roughly chronologic order here's what we got done:

Name Boards 


New Hinged Tiller


Hand-painted Registration Numbers


New Running Rigging


New Splicing Skills: Soft Shackles and Continuous Loops


Main Mast Lever Lift (Concept drawing. Seems I don't have an as-built-and-installed photos)


Boat Stands


Lazy Jacks


Mizzen Mast Slot & Plug


SUP Paddles


Two-Piece Kayak Paddle


Outboard Seats


"Front Row" Viewing Platform (at the west side of our place) and Two (newly built) Adirondack Chairs


Les Cheneaux Islands Get Away


Stove Box


Cooking & Baking Experimenting: Taking inspiration from the Great British Baking Show, we tried new recipes for Breads and Clangers. From exploring the Internet, we've begun playing with Curries. And in a moment of weakness, I decided to bake Fruitcake, which turned out nicely.

We are looking forward to 2021!

  2. Brilliant stuff Bob. Sadly Arwen has hardly been out. As soon as I get a trip sorted we get locked down. Just had to cancel another trip this weekend due to raised tier level. Love your craftsmanship by the way. Happy new year
