Diapensia

Diapensia is a 36 foot Cape Dory cutter, a blue water cruiser designed by Carl Alberg. Diapensia lapponica is a hardy, arctic flower that, in spite of icy winds and Spring snowfalls, can be found thriving on Mt. Washington. This past year she has been in Steve Newman's shop on Campobello Island getting fiberglass repairs to her decks and cockpit and new Awlgrip paint job. We are now cruising about the great North American Continent in our shy and unimposing land yacht, Wandah.

Oh, Ned taught me Cardinal Puff at Tulagi's in Boulder way back when.....
