Our 50th Season Begins

Good morning everyone. We are off the dock and underway for our first cruise of the 2011 season, our 50th season! Can you imagine what this boat would say if she could tell the many stories that have been absorbed by her wooden hull. Everyday becomes another chapter. I am as amazed today as I was 19 years ago. The scenery (even in yesterday's pea soup fog) is still breathtaking. The guests and crew are an inspiration. Each face has a wonderful story. I will let the pictures do the talking.

Have a great day. Be well. Do good.

On Monday afternoon Mary passed away very peacefully at home, surrounded by friends and “family”. Her departure was as graceful as the rest of her life. Many people, including Jen, have been doing heroic work to support Mary these last few weeks. Oddly enough Mary was never very excited about transitions though this was about the fastest transition she ever made. And as I struggle to let go of Mary I realize I am terrible with transitions as well. 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...
