We're Back

What a great trip and a wonderful vacation!  Any apprehension (and fear) I might have had about sailing is gone.  It was all fun, excitement, and adventure, everything I love.  Best of all, the 24/7 for 8 days on our small sailboat with Paul was not only a lot of fun, we really enjoyed each other.

The joint venture with Steve and Bruce on “Spartina” was a great success. Both boats and crew became quick good friends really adding to my first big sailing adventure.  


How much fun did I have? We’ll, I certainly didn't bother with blogging or the planned updates during the trip, a real vacation I suppose.  There will be lots of stories to tell and pictures to share, both on the "The Log of Spartina" blog and this one.  And of course I’m already thinking about weekend trips and even our next big trip.  

Did I mention I’m now a sailor?  I really liked it!  I'm not putting the paddle away, I'll likely always be a paddler first and foremost, but I've found another fun sport to find time for, and one Paul and I can enjoy together.  Boy this work thing is really getting in the way of my life.

Sure looked like a fabulous trip. I checked on your progress several times per day. Can't wait to see more photographs!

Welcome home, sailors! So I see you've BOTH gone over to the dark side. You're now a sailor and Paul is now a stinkpotter :)

Great to hear your news! I'm thinking of moving my old, neglected sailboat (CS-22) to the Bras D'Or lakes in Nova Scotia, a perfect 'northern' venue for your craft to explore someday...
