The 2011 Season Has Begun!


Flashback to December: The Sea Sprite , always en vogue, wearing a yellow mustache and more than a few barnacles. Telltale signs of a long season on the Sound. 2010 was a banner year for bookings, leaving little to no time to scrub the hull between trips with a toothbrush... as Capt. Pete usually has me do.

Into the Cedar Island Salon for a makeover.


Cedar Island Salon's receptionist sweeps the floor while the Sea Sprite gets exfoliated.

Dock and sinker scars botoxed. Don't worry, its not load bearing....

Removed the built in cooler. It was no longer cool, actually quite worn out.

Replaced with more storage and a cutting board counter top.

Yellow mustache removed, and replaced with a new high dollar Awlgrip complexion. Back to the water.

Ready to go to home to Old Saybrook.

And now we fish in the rain....
