Well, after a week of traveling on land to dispose of our car by
giving it away (Hey, what do we want a car for? We live on a boat!) we
came back to Maine to finally leave on our great adventure. We picked
up a friend who will sail with us to Boston. We packed the boat full
of food and fuel and sailed further south than we had ever been. The
wind blew harder than we had ever seen it blow, spray rolled across
the deck as the boat splashed through the waves. We reefed the sails
and reefed some more and still she roared along. It was exciting.
Tomorrow our friends son will meet us in Marblehead, Massachusetts,
and sail with us for a day before they both have to go back to work.
We, of course, will continue the adventure. The greatest adventure two
people from Camptown and Silvara have ever been on.
Here's a picture of Pirate John getting ready to sail by having his
breakfast. Even pirates need a good breakfast before their sailing
adventures!
Well, kids, be good for the teacher or she might call you a
Marblehead, too!
