New to sailnet, liveaboard hopeful!!
Hello all!
Name is Matt, currently living in Chicago with my girlfriend. We plan on making the transition to liveaboard life sometime in the summer! I'm working in Chicago but we plan on trying to move to the Tampa area and pick up our first boat. In the seemingly never-ending process of research at the moment. Looking forward to meeting some people for advice and encouragement!

Hey mjm - welcome to SN dude. You'll like it here.
Guess I should put a little more about us. Graduated in Feb with a degree in Construction Management, as did the lady. Trying to figure out the best way to go from apartment living to a boat in roughly 7 months (goal is June of '10). Has anyone else moved somewhere, got a job, and bought a boat all in one swoop? <:)?
Thanks smackdaddy, looking forward to picking a lot of your brains. We spent the other day in Sailboat Sales Co. at their yard here in chicago and looked at the O'day 28, Catalina 27 and Sabre 28. Just got us more excited!

As for my very inexperienced take, I sail a C27, and I personally wouldn't want to live on it (or any other sub-35' for that matter). But that's me. I might have done it when I was 20, but not now.
You should probably poke around the "Living Aboard..." thread. You'll get some good answers there. There is LOTS to learn. And SN's a great place to do it.
Go for it!
I was out of work! Bought a 24' boat. Sailed from LI to MD. Hooked up with a guy on here who gave me a job and is now my friend. I live onboard and work etc..I stay nice a warm with a little ole heater but its only gotten down to 33 so I say go for and have fun.
I recently moved aboard and highly recomend it. For me it was much slower... about 3 years since I started thinking about it. But in that time I learned to sail (I only knew very basic stuff before that), and learned how to work on various boat systems while not being completely dependent on them. Looking back, I think it would have been difficult, but not impossible, to jump into it all at once.
My actual move was not easy. I moved out of my appartment on the last day of the month, rented a car, picked up my delivery crew, and headed to Maryland to deliver my new boat to New York. I had owned the boat for about a month and spent 4 weekends working to get her ready for the delivery. That only left weeknights after work to clean out my appartment which was not easy.
So start getting rid of you stuff now! With 2 people on a 28 footer, you really wont be able to bring anything, but thats part of the beauty of it. Still, I would consider bigger boats, say 30-33' and wide beam, if possible.
Lots of folks are going to tell you to get a bigger boat, but you don't have to listen to them! ;) Many have been happy living and cruising on 25-30 footers. The smaller the boat, the less it costs you, the less time you spend fixing things, and the more time you spend sailing! Also, as you're just starting out this doesn't have to be your "forever boat", just your first boat. You can always do what so many do and get one 5 feet longer years later. :)

Another Life (A.L.)Mature
Another Life (A.L.)
Frustrated with my life,
I appealed to God,
To give me a chance,
To recreate myself,
To start life over,
A new, alternate one.
The following day,
A newspaper article,
It caught my eye,
An online virtual world,
Did it describe,
Created and run,
By a company in America.
I researched it,
On QuestWeb,
Another Life,
Was it named.
A free account,
Did I create,
Joining this virtual world,
Under a male avatar.
I chose the name Juan,
Entering it in the box,
From the drop down list,
The surname Firefly,
Giving thanks to God,
For this answer to my prayer,
I embraced my new life.

Unknown bee mimic hoverfly
Observed: 19th May 2013 By: DoodleBopper
Added: 20th May 2013
Seen on my wall. Probably 2ish cm long. I think some sort of bee mimic fly or hoverfly. I thought the tail was strange but apparently it is its ovipositor so it might have just laid eggs before I took the picture.

Hi Mary,
I am the one that posted the cocktail recipe I believe you are asking
I had some feedback from another robin member that the amount of epsom
salts I was using might be a bit high. I now use 2 pounds per 600
I talked with a rep. from Peters last year because I was having trouble
figuring the correct application rate for foliar feeding perennials. I
buy Peters 20-20-20 in a ten pound box that is packaged to be used in
Peters own hose end sprayer.
The application rate for foliar fertilizing from the Peters rep. is 5.5
pounds of Peters 20-20-20 in 200 gallons of water.
I reduce that amount of 20-20-20 in my cocktail mix because I add fish
emulsion and epsom salts and fear that too high an N-P-K percentage
could result in foliar burning. I have had no foliar burning that I can
attribute to foliar fertilizing of my hostas.
To use my revised recipe in 100 gallons of water:
2 pounds 20-20-20
6 ounces epsom salts
22 ounces fish emulsion
When you are use a downstream injector like the dositron you need to
keep your fertilizer solution well mixed. If you don't, your application
rates can vary considerably.
I know a nurseryman that waters and fertilizes his whole container
nursery using a dositron. It works great. There are other similar
products on the market.
There's a whole world of cocktail mixes out there.
pesticides with fertilizer
fungicides with fertilizer
pesticides with fungicides
pesticides and fungicides and fertilizer
I would like to hear some discussion on how late in the season we should
foliar feed out hostas. I am sure this will vary depending on what zone
we are in but I would imagine it could be tied to local first frost
Foliar fertilizing is widely used in the nursery trade and I am
surprised more hosta gardeners use it.

Our Failed Easter
Ok, so it wasn't too bad in retrospect, however it could have definitely been better.
Featured in these photos:
Elena's outfit
Nursing top: Boob Design
Skirt: Victoria's Secret
Sparkly flats: Yosi Samra from MyHabit
Tree of Life Bracelet: Tal Jewelry from Gilt
Stroller: Mutsy 4Rider
Carrier: Boba Soho
Alexis' onesie: Boob Mama and Baby twin set
Challenge #1: Mommy's "brilliant" idea to drive 40 minutes to the Botanical Gardens to see the Bunny and walk around and take pictures.
The gardens were absolutely beautiful and Alexis was initially very interested in surroundings (clue #1: overstimulated baby). By the time we got there, the Bunny was waving goodbye (which was fine, because I wasn't crazy about putting Alexis in his paws anyways).
I really wanted Alexis to wear this cute dress that my friend Olga from France sent her, but my little girl had other plans, which were "pretending" to be falling asleep when we arrived, so we let her wear her owl onesie rather than change her into the cute Easter dress.
After a quick very distracted on Lexi's part nursing, we strapped Alexis into her Mutsy stroller and went to enjoy the gardens, or so we thought…
A few minutes later, she started fussing because she couldn't see anything due to the cover we had to put on the stroller, since it was very sunny. I figured I could get her into my Boba carrier with a hat and carry her so that she could look around.
That's when everything started breaking down.
Challenge #2: Fussy baby who needs to sleep hourly and doesn't just fall asleep, because there's just WAAAAY too much stuff to look at (girly girl, how did you grow up so fast that you are already having problems sleeping due to being afraid of missing out on stuff?)
Result: Me having to rock and shush and try to calm Alexis down after she missed her nap time and had a meltdown.
After what seemed like an eternity and what, I am sure, were a few incredulous looks from people around ( I didn't pay attention and I don't really care, but before Lexi, I remember always thinking "Why did they bring such a young baby to a place the baby can't enjoy?" Silly me thinking Lexi would just go along with it. So lesson learned. I tried. I failed. I'll wait until she CAN enjoy it. Until then I'll put my life on hold, what else is new? )
Challenge #3: Florida heat of 90 degrees, eternal sunshine and no shade to speak of.
Calming a overtired baby in the 90 degree heat – not an easy task. Finally I found some shade and calmed her down. We put her back in the stroller with the cover and tried to pretend to enjoy ourselves and look at some plants. I don't know how Andrew and my mom felt, but all I could think of is how upset Lexi was (I hate it when she cries!).
Pretty cool statue, huh?
So we finally got to an area with some chairs and a nice shade and we camped out there for a bit.
Soon Lexi woke up and we hung out taking pictures.
Do you see how cute she is post-nap, clinging to her mommy?
After a nap and a boobie, Alexis seemed to be in a pretty good mood and pretty co-operative. We finally got ourselves some pictures with all three girls.
I really couldn't resist posting all of these "daddy and Lexi" photos. They're just too adorable together.
I thought this photo was hilarious. Andrew looks mad and Alexis looks scared He was just goofing around for the camera, he wasn't really mad and Alexis wasn't really scared, of course.
We also had a lot of mommy snuggles, along with a stretch session. She loooves a good stretch and makes the funniest monkey face.
Once we were headed back, and had to cover the stroller again, Alexis started crying, so I had to race to the entrance, so that I could find some shade and pick her up. *sigh* It's really not easy being out with a 2 months old in these conditions.

I love the distance you have to yourself! Lexi is a cutie cutie
Have you recalled why not giving her vit. D, since you're not exposing her to sun? Just curious, since I also live in a sunny climate.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
We live in Florida, so she ends up getting sun exposure no matter what I do.
Caitlin Mallery
Your life won't be on hold forever. I was blessed with the friendliest newborn alive, and at 8 months he still is wonderful when we go out. He loves people, and looking around, so at times he did seem to be overstimulated. However, you still miss out on a lot for the first few months. After all, only mom can feed him, and babies do only last a little while on outings. You seem to be making the adjustment well. It is wonderful to see the daddy/daughter relationship. My husband can't wait to have a little girl. And it is great you have your mom with you as well. I think if you keep up with regular, predictable outings, Lexi will learn to love them. Of course it may take a while.
By the way, since you live in FL I am sure you have done a lot more research into infant sunscreen. What do you use? Living in MT and having my son in early fall I have not had to give much thought to that yet, but I am starting to look around now. For my son's early months, I was just trying to make sure he was properly bundled without being overly warm.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Once Lexi is old enough to use sunscreen I'll be using Lavanila baby block. I am happy with the Ingredients and the company is awesome. I also use their adult version on myself when I know Alexis might get in contact with it
The gardens look beautiful. Thanks for taking us on such an interesting adventure.
Even though sometimes I do get thoughts of living somewhere warm and tropical, on the other hand I enjoy me some cool weather and the season changes. See that's why I love cold mOre than heat. When it's cool out you just bungle up the baby and go. When it's hot there's nothing you can do to make the baby feel comfortable. I wonder, do you ever miss autumn or spring? I know you grew up in Russia so that's why I'm asking.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Not all. I always hated cold and preferred heat personally. Now that Alexis is here, you're right it's easier to bundle a baby up. But I'm sure with time I will learn how to deal with heat. It's only a big issue when they can't regulate their own temp.
Otherwise I love love love living in a hot climate! We still get warm spring weather during the winter months and I've never been a fan of fall, so it's perfect for me.
So sweet My guy is almost 2.5 & he still cuddles and clings to me right after a nap, I love those moments!
This doesn't sound like a failed outing…just a day out with a baby.
So true!
Good for you for getting out & about! Some moms fall into the trap of staying home because they're terrified of meltdowns. Also, love the stretching – my daughter has done that from day one, too! I love her stretch expression, too cute.
PS – I should introduce myself, first time commenter but I've been reading since January. Love the photographs you take. This blog and your photography blog have inspired me to get out there and try to take better (and more!) pictures. Thank you! 😀
It will get easier and she will get used to go out. I was terrified of tamtrums and at the beggining I didn't want to go out too much. Then I started to plan going out around her routine, and everything went fine.
I love Alexis's stork bite on her forehead. (Though, you can't see it in a lot of the pictures, maybe those are a little overexposed). My son has one that I just adore, his is on the back of his neck though.
With young babies (Alexis is only 2.5 months old) you have to realize that they get hot, and tired, so much faster than adults. Heck, even older children get tired and cranky. It's not that you have to put your life on hold, you just need to make better choices about where you go, and when. Go out when it's not her regular nap time (during her awake time). And go places that are shady and cool, so they don't get hot and upset).
Also, that much sun, even with your stroller cover, isn't really good for them to be out in. They can't wear sunblock until they're 6 months old at least, anyway, so you should try to keep her out of the sun as best as you can.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Her mark is slowly fading, so some days I can barely make it out in certain lighting and then others it's dark again. And it gets really dark when she's crying or straining somehow.
The problem with outings is her awake time is short nowadays. She's so engaged when she's awake, she needs a nap every hour. Not much can be done in an hour.
Actually, sunBLOCK can be worn even as a newborn. It's sunSCREEN that cannot be worn (and now that I know the difference, I'll likely never use sunscreen on her!).
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
I believe all sunblocks still say to discuss with your doctor before using on infants under 6 months
Ashley @ A Recipe for Sanity
I live in FL too…do you mind sharing what botanical garden you went to? It looks beautiful and I'd love to visit if I'm in the area.
Lexi is so precious and looks so much like her daddy in those photos. You all are a lovely family.
How does a baby pretend to be asleep? That's a new one for me.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Sarcasm that's how. I'd think quotation marks would give it away.
people are so mean to you on here! Cheers for keeping it going!! She is a doll and I love her rolls. My babies were both 100% breastfed for a year and were big babies!!!! Now, they are healthy as ever!!!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
I don't think people are mean. I think there are a few opinionated insecure a-holes, but otherwise I love most of my readers
Umm, insecure? Ok. I just asked a question because what you put made no sense. And still doesn't. I don't get how that is sarcasm. Was she really asleep and you didn't want to wake her? Was she awake and you are making a quip about it? Where is the sarcasm?
And calling your readers a-holes maybe one reason you have so many negative comments. Just saying.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Hm that's interesting that you took it personally. I wasn't even talking about you or anyone in particular. Your comment was just a blip on the radar. Lol
And "aholes" aren't my readers, my readers are awesome!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Oh and sarcasm was in the fact that a 2.5 months old baby can't "pretend" to be asleep, hence the quotation marks.
And BTW, if you're finding life with one child (between 3 adults) difficult, it would probably be a wise idea to stop with one then. Because life with 2 is twice as hard.
I'm not really sure what life you're looking to get back to. This is your life now. Life will never be the same. Something you maybe should have thought about before having a child.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
I never said it was difficult. In fact I find it pretty darn awesome. Probably BECAUSE I thought long and hard before having a kid!
Oh my goodness that baby is all Daddy, isn't she!? Precious!
Have you looked at a battery powered stroller fan? Or an umbrella that folds up small to provide some shade. And really, this seems like a normal day out with a baby. When my son is hot and tired, he fusses. All babies do. Until you get used to toting a baby around, maybe you should stick to areas that get a good breeze (the beach) or air conditioned indoors.
you have to be careful with fans. If they blow directly on the face, the baby stops breathing. So if you use a fan make sure that it just blows on her body and not anywhere near her face.
I second the stroller fan. Works so well at that age.
I had a similar problem but my son was born in the winter (in IL). It was so hard to take him outside because the weather was so fridgid. I ended up giving up all together and waited till the spring. He was older and it was better for us. It's not the way everyone would have done it, but it worked for us and that's what matters. Maybe early mornings or late late afternoons for a while.
So you took your beautiful family, to a beautiful location, to enjoy a beautiful holiday and it is all a big failure because the baby was….a baby?
Girl. You are so so so so so so blessed.
Life isn't about wearing the perfect dress and getting the perfect blog photo.
I hope you have a million more WONDERFUL memories, like your "failed" Easter outing.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
very true!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephanie Heather
This is my favorite entry of yours! The minute I read the first lines I laughed – not in a mean way, but in a uh-oh, we've all been there so know what's coming way. You took a ton of beautiful photos and you'll look back on the day as a special family adventure – at least I think you will
Sarah Joan
"life on hold"-too true, too true! I had a May baby and i remember everyone telling me how wonderful it will be b/c we'll have the nice summer weather together….what summer!?!? i was stuck inside all summer! I've commented a few times before, but i just continues to amaze how similar my daughter was to your Alexis!! But is true, in a few months she'll turn a corner and all of a sudden going out will be a breeze and she'll love it!! my favorite part of the first year is definitely 6-12 months. Don't get me wrong, I love tiny & snuggly newborns, but it is a lot of hard work-mentally and physically. I always start to see a lil "pay-off" once the 6 month mark comes around (haha….i sounds like i've done this a millions times-i haven't-i'm only on my 2nd baby and she's 5.5 months right now-so i guess i'm no expert 😉 ). Anyways-love the pictures!! and i also love her lil sun hat and her cute lil baby cheeks and beautiful blue eyes!!!!
Laura W.
LOVE the pictures, they are so intimate and sweet. The ones with your hubby and baby are the best, I can't resist a father / baby picture. And I feel your pain when it comes to family outing with little ones. It took me a few kids, but I think I finally learned with my last baby to go into every outing with no expectations and plan for the worst. Kind of like that saying "hope for the best, expect the worst"..,.. that way I am not really as disappointed if something goes wrong. But it seems like you are the type to take life as it comes. And you are so fortunate to have your Mother staying with you for so long!
Your life isn't on hold, this IS your life now!
Elena C.
You guys are way too cute! Seriously
Pity for the heat, though I'd definitely enjoy some right now
And you missy look better PP than me on my bad days LOL
(remember that article about BFF Leo? kicking ass and inspiring by example? yeah
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Hahaha! You flatter me! You look awesome and you know it :))))
Your little girl is a cutie! Love those chubby cheeks, and she looks just like her Dad! Enjoy taking pictures of her now, it just gets harder as they get older! My four month old loves to roll and move so much that every still shot is blurry – it's all videos for us now! You may enjoy this: http://crappypictures.com/2011/09/smile-or-the-evolution-of-photos-of-my-child.html It's so true!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Haha that is really funny! Can't wait for those stages
Aww, our Easter last year was similar! At least you tried. Your photos are gorgeous! Could you let me know what camera/lens you use? We're in the market for a new camera Thanks!!
alexis is beautiful! i am a florida girl myself, if you don't mind my asking, WHERE IS THIS?! IT"S GORGEOUS & i might have to go, soon! if it's not too far!
I found a quite brilliant invention called the Ray Shade for our stroller. I think it was about $15 and it attaches to the canopy with velcro straps.
She's such a little sweetie!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
She isn't content not seeing anything though. But I might buy it for when she's sleeping.
It basically extends the stroller's canopy, so baby can still see everything that is going on. My boy was the same and would get upset if I hung a blanket over the canopy to give him some shade so the Ray Shade was a great alternative for us!
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
Our canopy is really big though. She usually fusses when I fully extend it because she can't see things. But she's also still in a semi-reclined position. Once she sits up, it'll be better.
I know what this is like. I hated when I went out and kids didn't enjoy it at all. and i felt like i failed and wasted time.
ahh yes……welcome to motherhood Elena. Your outing sounds like a typical outing with a 2.5 month old. You will (amazingly enough) when she is a bit older, be able to block out a crying baby in a store or a public place (not YOURS…..but the people who have crying babies?….yeah you wont even notice them) My sister (who has a 25 year old) said something about the "annoying crying baby" one time at Target and I asked her what she was talking about. I had to really listen and then I heard it. But then immediatly blocked it out. So ignore those looks you get…they arent from a mom of a youngish child.
Elena @The Art of Making a Baby
I just feel bad for Alexis. I wanted to go there partially for us, but partially because I thought she'd "somehow enjoy it"… I have to keep reminding myself she's only 2.5 months. It feel like she's so much older. We'll have plenty of time to go places when she can enjoy them.
until they start talking thats how they express themselves…..overstimulated? cry. Tired? cry. Hungry? cry. Not stimulated enough? cry. frustrated? cry. happy? why not laugh and then start crying (because babies like to keep us guessing).
We found a good solution when our daughter was an infant and we wanted to go out somewhere sunny… an umbrella. It works really well when you're worried about using sunblock or are in a really sunny place. We managed to take our daughter to a day trip into the desert in May, and she came through just fine. Not even a bit sunburned, and when she got hot we just spritzed her with a little water to cool her off.
you and your baby are just adorable I think that even at 2.5 mo babies can enjoy the surroundings – greenery, flowers, colors, etc. I try to not overstimulate my little girl but I think that showing her life gently is a good thing By the way, I got a few black and white contrast objects at your recommendation and my child loves them! thank you! if you have a chance – where did you get the sun hat for A. that you wore to the Botanical Gardens? It seems to fit A. so well!!! It is 90+ in CA and the only hats I can find in stores and those I ordered on-line are super large… now, my baby does not have a small head according to her check ups so it must be the hats. Appreciate the tip
You're doing well, and good for you for getting out with her. Outings like that, when it feels like everything goes wrong, can be discouraging, but it will get easier. You're figuring it out.
And look, I have three kids, and it was HARD when my first was a newborn. I was so unsure of myself and trying to figure everything out, and I didn't understand what his cries meant, and I was afraid to take him anywhere because of situations like the one you described in the gardens. Anyone who tells you that you shouldn't bother having more than one, just because you come across tough scenarios with your first – well, that's just silly. It's ALWAYS hard with your first. We're novices with that first baby, and everything is a learning experience.

Also I would suggest checking out Edna's video on how to stack a cake. It's fantastic and should put your mind at ease. I also have seen that a lot of people use those grippy shelf liners under the cake board so it does not slide during transport. Here's the link:

text: Anyhow sitting at home feeling bumed about not having a job. I get a phone call from my dad. He wants me to come talk to him. The family is having problems with one of my sisters and he wants my opinion on it.. Anyhow, I meet him at the Aero Club and we go for a little flight( dad owns a plane) so here are a few pics from the hour flight. For those of you who have been here you will know what you looking at. For those who have not well, its just pretty pics lol. First we have a few shots of the Cooper River Bridge. If you look at the first bridge pic on pic side of the bridge you will see the USS York Town. As well at Patriots Point boat harbor Next is the Morris Island Light house. It may not look like a island right now, but when the tide is low, it is a big party spot. On any given weekend you will find 50 to 100 boats all tied together having a blast Next we have the Folly Pier.. It is a pretty cool place ot go fishing, or just hang out or do what ever. Next few are of Kiawah and Sea Brook Islands. This is where the richest of the rich live. You cant ever get a 2 bedrrom condo on the inland side of the island for less then 700K. If you ask me its a waste of money. On the way back in we flew over the Harbor First we have Fort Sumpter And the last one I am gonna post. Down Town Charleston, on the Peninsula or also knon as The Battery.

|Re: Forms work with JServ+Apache, do not work with Tomcat+Apache: Images in forms show up randomly! Please help!
|Thu, 12 Apr 2001 16:13:21 GMT
Hi. Do they show up when you go back a page to them? That was subject of my post a few days ago...no answer yet though. Dave "Natasa Lazetic" <firstname.lastname@example.com> on 04/11/2001 10:07:13 PM Please respond to firstname.lastname@example.com To: "Tomcat-User@Jakarta. Apache. Org (E-mail)" <email@example.com> cc: (bcc: David Hay/Lex/Lexmark) Subject: Forms work with JServ+Apache, do not work with Tomcat+Apache: Images in forms show up randomly! Please help! Hello! I have been having problems with the display of images (and application of CSS's) in forms ever since I have starting using Tomcat + Apache configuration. The images/resources displayed perfectly with JServ + Apache combination. I am using Java servlets. I create HTML forms using XSL stylesheets and XML and Xalan/Xerces combination. Originally when I switched from JServ to Tomcat, the images would not show up at all. Then I added some .flush() and .close() methods to the OutputSreams/PrintWriters and that helped some - the images started showing up. However, they don't show up consistently. If I refresh the form, containing say two images and a CSS, that formats the title's font, one image may be missing, or both images, or CSS may not get applied. You never know. On rare occasions, they all show up. This problem happens only on IE 5.5 and Netscape 4.7, but does not happen on Netscape 6.0. Any ideas? Exact product versions: Apache 1.3.12 (or 1.3.14, does not work on either) Tomcat 3.2.1 Xalan-J 1.2.2 Xerces-J 1.2.2 More notes: * Could it be a cashing problem? The caching in HTTP response is now set to "no-cache" * The method that goes to get an image uses ContentType of "application/octet-stream". Could this cause some trouble? (I've tested it with "image/gif" content type for a form that used a GIF, and that did not help) Thank you for your time. Cheers, ... Natasa ...

fully furnished waterfront cottage nearby gallilee , point judith and the beaches. boating, swimming, fishing from your own dock, or just sit and relax watching the water. convenient and quiet location, with ez trip distance to newport and block island. The property is in a peaceful setting set back off the road next to the water and dock. Waterfowl , birds , fish and clams are along the shore.
Keywords: waterfront cottage
my wife geeta and i live in the berkshires of western mass and intend to retire to this cottage in a few years. i am a former peace corps volunteer from nepal where i met my wife and were married there. fishing , travelling, relaxing, running are some of my favorite enjoyments.
DAVID LIPINSKI purchased this cottage in 2008
the fishing village of gallilee is a real working port, with a ferry to block island, good restaurants, a very quiet spot on great island, point judith nearby, ez trips to newport and jamestown... are some of the reasons. the exact spot is private, quiet, and close to the water/dock.
relaxation, swimming, boating, clamming, fishing, walking, peace and quiet.
Had a great time at the cottage and plan on returning for two weeks next year. That place is a fishermen's dream with the dock and access to RI's fishing resources. Obviously the family loves it as well!
Good location. Peaceful
Very nice and clean three bedroom 1.5 bathroom cabin waterfront cabin with floating dock... We visited with 5 adults and the house and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. The home was plenty warm during the winter stay and all rooms include fans. Our stay was during the off season so many of the restaurants in the immediate area were closed but still had several fresh seafood places to pick from and the best part was no waiting (I imagine getting into restaurants during the summer is tough). David was very helpful when booking, prior to arrival, during the stay and after departure and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks!! Will be back next year!
We (five of us and two dogs) loved our stay at this lovely, waterside cottage. It was a chilly winter's weekend, but the house was very warm, clean and well-stocked with all of the sundry things we needed to keep the household going for our three-day mini-vacation. I'd recommend the place in any season as a place to get away with friends and family to relax, have fun and recreate.
Thank you for sharing your pet friendly cottage with us. Our family was able to bring our 13 year old Boston Terrier along on this trip. She usually has to head to the kennel, so this was her first family vacation. What a pleasure to watch her explore, run on the beach, and occasionally feel the waves on her feet. It was heartwarming to see our old girl energetic and active.
...And our human family enjoyed our time at your cottage too! Playing games in front of the fireplace; experiencing the beautiful sunrises right outside our windows; cooking and eating a Chrismas dinner; and eating out at some of the local restaurants you recommended.
Thank you!
great property - tucked back but near everything - long walk or bike ride to beaches, loved that it was pet friendly!
What a wonderful, peaceful location. And the fact that you checked in with us to ensure everything was in good order is seldom experienced! Thank you for sharing your home with us. Hoping some day we can return & stay a bit longer!
Gallilee and the point judith areas are perfect vacation spots with swimming, boating, enjoying the beaches, fishing, sightseeing, walking, clamming, eating fresh seafood, relaxing and more all around. Great island is especially peaceful because of limited traffic, and our cottage is a 1 mile walk to the Block Island ferry.
Other Activities: bird watching! Especially of the numerous ospreys and waterfowl.
Fishing is super in this area.

Atheists and Hypocrisy
Atheists, at least the ones Ive read and argued with, love to point out hypocrisy when they see religious people especially Christians guilty of it. Fair enough. In fact, not just fair. We need the scrutiny of skeptics. It reminds us that Christ has called us not to be the judges and condemners of the world, but the salt and light.
That being said, the honest truth is that sometimes the hypocrisy of some atheists makes Ted Haggard look downright pristine. For instance, an atheist group in Michigan called the Center for Inquiry recently had a venue cancel their reservation. It seems that the privately-owned Wyngate Country Club discovered that the group was indeed atheist and that the event featured a nationally known atheist speaker, Richard Dawkins.
So the atheist group is you guessed it: suing. Why? On the basis of religious discrimination. Heres the legalese they cite:
Privately-owned companies are not exempt from laws against discrimination. If a privately-owned Michigan business offers services to the public (the legal term is public accommodation,) they must abide by both the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act and cannot discriminate against people based on religion.
Let me get this straight. Atheists famously get their collective panties in a wad when a religious display is allowed on public property property we ALL pay for. But now they go bat-crap crazy when a PRIVATE organization that THEY DIDNT pay for reserves the right to host who they please? Really?
AND Ive never had an argument with an atheist who didnt indignantly demand that atheism IS NOT a religion. But now its okay to hide behind laws that protect religion? That volume of hypocrisy is breath-taking!

Christians are notorious for cherry picking their beliefs. If any of them took their "saviour" seriously they would obey his commands, and sell all of their possessions. Not just their house and car but everything, and give it to the poor. To emulate "Christ" would mean to live in abject poverty and filth. So christians, let us know when you list 100% of your stuff at knock down prices on eBay! lmao

An atheist said, "If there is a God, may he prove himself by striking me dead right now." Nothing happened. "You see, there is not God." Another responded, "You've only proved that He is a gracious God."
George Bernard Shaw is perhaps most renowned as a free thinker and liberal philosopher. In his last writings we read, "The science to which I pinned my faith is bankrupt. Its counsels, which should have established the millennium, led, instead, directly to the suicide of Europe. I believed them once. In their name I helped to destroy the faith of millions of worshippers in the temples of a thousand creeds. And now they look at me and witness the great tragedy of an atheist who has lost his faith." Nobody talks so constantly about God as those who insist that there is no God.

Gotta love those online sermons from the atheist religion.
I listened to the first 30 seconds of one of those, then discarded the rest since it wasn't worth my time. But some of the faithful atheists in the forum may want to hear it so just for you, here it is:
[Who knows, maybe near the end he will tell you where there's a great atheist church in your area.]
[Do you pledge 10%, or just put into the plate what your science god tells you to?]

You are an idiot. We know exactly what you are doing which is trying to divert attention away from the real problem, which is your religion is BS. This is why you try to attack Atheists and rarely if ever discuss your own beliefs. And in this forum a range of issues is discusserd and debated besides the non existance of gods. You may actually learn something if you read the posts properly and engage your brain.

Exactly. Not to mention Paul never met Jesus and many if his so called books are indeed forgeries not even written by the so called Paul.
I also find it interesting that Paul knows very little of the life of Jesus and instead just barks at people what Jesus would want! Apparently Paul knew what Jesus would want better than Matthew Mark and John.
Sorry Luke you admit you never met Jesus but are just such a darn good historian :))

Look at dishonest you are. What won't you say?
What could possibly be more hypocritical that a preacher that promotes the persecution of gays between clandestine dates snorting illicit powders off of the nut sack of his man-whore in a seedy motel? What is more hypocritical that that. Let's see what behavior from atheists you think makes that level of hypocrisy look pristine by comparison:
Unbelievable. have you no shame? Have you no pride?
Your anti-atheist prejudice is so extreme that it blinds you to the point that you call atheists that feel that they have been discriminated against who are suing for that discrimination orders of magnitude more heinous than Haggard's.
That hypocrisy was so egregious, by the way, that the male escort in question outed himself on the national news, and confessed to illicit drug use just to expose his formerly incognito lover for that hypocrisy once he knew who it was.
You are a liar and a fraud. And you are a Christian.
Therein lies OUR double talk? You are completely over the top. You have been so mismanaged by your handlers that you've lost your sense of proportion and your sense of decency. Your words sound insane to me.

Oh yeah. So Christlike.
I don't see how Christians can actually believe that the god is watching them while defying it. The Christians accuse the unbelievers of just that - that we hate their god and are rebelling against it, a very poor plan for a believer.
But then they flout violating their gods commandments, and just mutter a chant for forgiveness on demand at the ceiling fan.
Would you openly and visibly violate the commandments of a human dictator, maybe somebody like the Ayatollah Khomeini? Would you flout them openly? Of course not. Anybody who did would be cured of the practice right quick. But the Ayatollah is real - somebody that you can't help but believe exists. The bible god not so much judging by the behavior of the "believers."
Bull crap. It's not the skeptics who believe in a god they deny, as many Christians claim. It's the Christians, who claim they believe that a god is watching them whenever anybody ass, but who then defy it. You'd have a better chance of getting away with it with the Ayatollah. He's neither omniscient nor omnipresent.

Our accommodation includes two beautifully converted cottages - Polly's Bower, an idyllic romantic hideaway for 2 people and Pippin Cottage for 6 people - both have stunning views over unspoilt countryside and stand privately in their own grounds.
Polly's Bower (Sleeps 2)
This is a romantic retreat that has been converted from a 300-year-old apple-crushing barn into a beautiful, contemporary open-plan hideaway for two. All the old peg beams and trusses have been restored sympathetically, retaining much of its original charm. On a sunny morning, you can enjoy breakfast on the patio outside, taking in the view of the orchard, or on a cold day curl up with a book on the settee in front of the log-burner (after a lovely hot soak in the big freestanding bath upstairs!). There is an additional shower, beautifully hand-made fitted kitchen and inglenook dining area (where the apple press once stood). A welcome hamper of local goodies greets you on arrival.
For more information about Polly's Bower, please click here
Pippin Cottage (Sleeps 6)
This delightful secluded cottage was once Lantallack's old coach house. It has two bedrooms with super king double beds, a comfortable bunk room, a bathroom, an additional shower room, an open-beamed sitting room with log fire and a lovely hand-made kitchen. It has its own private driveway and a large enclosed garden. French windows lead on to the patio where you can sit and watch the sun go down across the valley. A welcome hamper of local goodies greets you on arrival.
For more information about Pippin Cottage, please click here
Both cottages have TV/video, CD/ipod-player, dishwasher, log fire, washing line and access to onsite laundry with washing machine and dryer.
With regret, we do not cater for children under 14 or for pets.
