It seems like only ten years ago we started on this new cruise to Maine and hopefully Nova Scotia. Finally we are about to slip the lines. If you are bored with the waiting, you have some idea of how impatient we are to have something about cruising to report. In the last few days we have had visits from Dan, Sara, Marcia, Kristen, Mike, The Ritaccos, and Jemi. And the mechanics left today for what I hope is the last time. Tomorrow we go out for a "sea trial" and then Thursday we are going down to Newport and Point Judith on our way to the first stop at old standby Cuttyhunk in the Elizabeth Islands.

I truly hope my next post is from Cuttyhunk and then on to Falmouth to see Dick and Maggie. Weather and tides look good for Thursday. First stop in Pt Judith to feed the engines which will likely need about 300 gallons to get us going. I just close my eyes and hand over the plastic.
