A Long Sail

Good morning everyone. We enjoyed a very long sail yesterday.
Beautiful weather blessed us once again and we sailed off the hook in
a NW wind that carried us out of Blue Hill Bay and across Jericho
Bay. We sailed from the NW wind straight into the SW onshore breeze
without a hesitation, a rare occurence. Often the wind dies out for
a few hours while the sea breeze builds and I had planned to stop for
shore trips during the intermission but I guess the wind had
different ideas. Several bald eagles and porpoise graced us with
their presence. Sunset was spectacular. We are anchored here in North
Haven this morning and will get ashore for walks after breakfast.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

My heart is heavy with sadness as I write this particular blog. Since the beginning of August our dear friend and cook for the last 12 years, Mary Barney, had been struggling with cancer.

We used to joke about how we liked things just the way they are, thank you very much, so why change what is working already even if it might be less labor intensive. Hard works is its own reward. I used to joke about getting Mary a Cui...

A Beautiful Sight

By
During one of our 6 day cruises in July 2010 I was up early one morning and caught a neat reflection of this good looking schooner in Great Cove off Brooklin, Maine. It is one of the loveliest schooners with a graceful sweeping sheer that goes on forever and lovely douglas fir spars that receive a good scraping and slushing every fall. I am a sucker for a beautiful windjammer. OK, you schooner experts out there. Which windjammer is it? Have a great day. Be well. Do good.
