Recess At Anchor


Recess At Anchor, originally uploaded by Chris S Thorpe.
Recess is the latest in a rather long line of family vessels dating back to the early '70's. She's not fancy, plush, sleek or eloquent. What she is is salty, dependable, safe and fast. The perfect boat for us at this point in our lives, Recess handles well in almost any weather conditions. Her pilothouse cabin keeps us dry and secure when the waves of the Great South Bay break over the windshield, the aft deck serves us perfectly when cruising or fishing in calmer water. It's funny how a boat can almost become a part of the family and during the past five years Recess has been a part of many adventures. There still are a few weeks to be enjoyed in this boating season with cool afternoons and early sunsets. Soon though Recess will have to suffer the indignity of sitting in the driveway as the only waves breaking over her bow will be of ice and snow.
