We did a lot of work on the house and listed it for sale as mentioned in the previous blog but we also spent all summer continuously updating, repairing and replacing stuff. Major $$$. The good news is that less than a week before our departure for winter we are getting an offer we can accept. That's also bad news because, as I said, it's less than a week before departure.
We got a little bit of cruising in this summer since the trip to Hamburg Cove for Memorial Day. We went to Coecles Harbor, Shelter Island for a rendezvous with the squadron. We did a one week cruise of the Buzzard's Bay area with Heather and Luca aboard. There was a solo long weekend at Montauk and then the season finale at Watch Hill, RI for Labor Day weekend. Above is a photo of a Portuguese Man O War jellyfish off one of the Elizabeth Islands (Cape Cod). We've never seen one this far north. Actually we had never seen one until we cruised to Florida. This big one could be fatal if you got up close and personal with it.
That's it! Not much traditional boating. Being liveaboards makes it all different.
I will be updating this blog on a more regular basis after we get underway and head south.
Until then...
