Catching Up

Hello out there!



Sorry it's been so long since we updated, but we weren't sure this thing was working. We also have an energy shortage since our generator quit working a couple of weeks ago.



We're in Maine now, having taken four days to get here. Northeast winds required us to motor from Marion to Boston. We spent a couple of days there, then motored to Star Island off Portsmouth, N.H. Then had a good sailing day to Biddiford, Me and the next day made it to Great Chebeague Island in Casco Bay.



We spent a couple of days in Freeport, where brother George and Suzanne and Molly met us. We motored over to Jewell Island, which is wild and beautiful,. We hiked most of the island, but were pretty much socked in with rain and fog. Molly and I did get some snorkling in, but we were glad we had wetsuits. Had a great visit with family, and played cards in the cabin during the rain. Lots of laughs and fun!



Had a nice sail back to So. Freeport where we collected our second folding bike and put our guests ashore. Spent another day biking around Freeport, shopping and replenishing our stores. We took our outboard motor to the shop for repair, and will do without till we return.



Had what seemed like six inches of rain, then a beautiful clear day to sail out to Diamond Island. Ended up anchoring off Long Island.


Bertha says to say hello to everyone, and we'll keep this up to date a little more frequently in the future. Please e-mail me or call 508-455-7823.
