Good-bye Summer 2010

We hate to end this summer of sailing from Rhode Island to Maine and back again. It's been a great experience.


Earl (the hurricane) pushed our decision to return to Bristol up by 10 days. We were in Woods Hole, MA, and planning to tour some of the oceanographic places and then head on to Martha's Vineyard with Sharon and Lloyd. The advice of all the "weather experts" at the yacht club was that we should head as far away from that area as possible. So, we made a beeline down to Bristol, RI, and had plenty of time to secure the boat for whatever Earl wanted to throw at us. Fortunately the storm turned and we barely got any rain or wind.

Sharon and Lloyd were in complete agreement........but now they are involved in unloading and putting the boat away. Lucky them. Really, we feel so lucky that they will help us. By the end of Labor Day Weekend we will have readied the boat for winter storage. Then we will go off to Boston to be tourists with them before putting them on a plane to return to Michigan.




Thank you for reading this blog and sharing in our adventure. Next year we will begin the journey back to Michigan, so stay tuned. :-)
