Welcome to the Tabor Boy Project! It's great to have you as a member and also to reconnect. I think you will find at least a few of your shipmates on the site including Jim Walker.
I'm still with NOAA and…"

James Hutton posted a blog postHarborFinder Free Nautical app for Android smart phones
There are a lot of "apps" available for smart phones but here's one that is terrific for the mariner. Class of '79 Bill Earle and his associate at BBN/Rayetheon came up with this free Android app for voyage planning. Bill and his associate would like to get some feedback on the app so download it, have fun with it, and let him know how well it works for you - bearle@bbn.com …See More

Great hearing from you. I've thought about you often while watching the news reports of the Texas drought. It sure is a terrible thing.
Hey when all else fails, head on down to N'orl'ns - what a fun town! I can think…"

- Favorite Tabor Boy moment
- Sailing through Woods Hole on the way to Nantucket, one late fall day. We sailed her through and found that the wind was blowing even stronger on the Nantucket side. So, Cap told us to reduce sail and Bob Glover and I climbed out on the bowsprit to gather, stop, and secure the outer jib as it came down. Cap pointed her up into the wind and the schooner started a progressive pitch. We worked quickly but it wasn’t long before the bow plunged so that our boots were dipped into the cold water. We continued stopping the sail and securing it to the jib boom as the bow dipped and we were waist deep in the spume. We kept working, and the bow dipped again; this time we were neck deep. Bob and I tied the last stop and scrambled back in before the bow sprit took one more dip into Nantucket Sound. Cap headed off the wind and we continued our way to Nantucket making about ten knots.

Innovation that comes from many days at sea
As a marine engineer, I can't help but admire the innovative spirit that comes from long days at sea. The lacking and longing of shore side comforts can lead to a very creative spirit. How else did such devises like the evaporator which produces fresh water from the sea come to be? The Slinky itself was invented by Richard James who was a marine engineer. While I'm not an advocate for the pleasure of alcohol while underway, I…

Hello Jamie,
Where are you these days, I tried calling your ship while we past each other off Hatteras a few trips ago, but you were at home on vaca - good for you.
I hope all is going well for you.
Take care,
Richard

James Coburn said… Sadly, I don't think that we met during the '09 reunion. Either way, it's nice to hear from someone with such a vested interest in the maritime scholarly pursuits as me. Yes, I know Cam, and somewhat sadly, he hasn't changed too much, though the beard was a shocker the first time I saw him. As for anything being done, I can't really think of much. I'm a MUG as it is, so I have very little leeway or freedom in any direction.
With thanks,
James Coburn '11

Brick George said… Hi Jamie, thanks, it certainly has been a long time. I spent way too much time at work going through all the pictures on the site, all the memories. I have a bunch that I'll see if I can scan and upload. I have one thats a favorite of the ship being careened in Quicks Hole. Ive given up boats for motorcycles at the moment. Same thing really, ride an expensive piece of equipment around in circles with no particular destination, wash, polish and throw money at it.

Dear Jamie,
Many thanks for your welcome. I'm pleased to join the gang. I do recall George Glaeser speaking highly of you often.. Both Jane and i were scheduled to be aboard for all of the Cup races in 1983. Business responsibilities forced me to miss the last + best race, however Jane saw them all. I am sure we have met several times Next time you are in Marion stop by our home is on Ryder Lane , a stones throw from where George used to live.
All the best,
Dave Barker '46

- Hi Jamie,
My Mid-Life Crisis Car is a 2008 Saturn Red Line. It is highly modified and
will do 0-60 in 5 seconds. I show it in local car shows here in Northeast FL
just outside of Jacksonville. I'm not sure when or if I will attend another
reunion although I loved the 50th. Seeing the changes just overwhelmed me. I
remember Cap Glazer very well and considered him a friend even though I
didn't participate in Schooner Crew. I did love to sail and took advantage
of the small boat program often at Tabor. 3 years ago I sold my 26'
Macgregor which had been a lot of fun sailing on the ST. John's River. If I
do make another, it is a long trip for us and now I have somehow turned 70,
don't quite understand just how that happened, however I have a very close
friend from the class of 1959 named Tom Ranges who lives in Rowayton, CT. I
can fly to Westchester County Airport and he drives us up to Tabor, so maybe
I will make another one yet. Boy, that was a run on sentence. Forgive me Mr.
Gowing! Take care Jamie and thanks for the e-mail. Regards - Admiral Jack
