Patricia is aboard!!

This season is about getting the boat ready for a trip to store her in Nova Scotia. The work in McDougals was hit and miss and communication was very poor. Rules did not allow what I wanted to be done so We put in in June in Falmouth and then went to Narraganset bay for repair by J&J marine who went bankrupt just after I left. The test sail out of J&J was a surprise when we got aboard and found the 12V bank had 4.1V due to a disconnect of the solar panels! This resulted in a test sail of a short trip to Newport and waiting for Scott, the electrician, who did a super job in just 1 hour once he got to the boat.

About to be launched at McDougals in Falmouth. "Sailed" to J&J with no wind. Charles and were the crew to take her over to J&J.





The Crew for this trip was Jeff and Mark in Jonestown after a stay in Dutch harbor







Felt like Saratoga with the geese. We're on a Newport Mooring waiting for Scot the electrician for arrive.





Patricia in the Seamans institute chapel. A very cool place - fabulous library, breakfast, showers.
