It's just winter dreaming at this point because the extent of work and
family commitments for next summer are not determined yet. However,
absent the usual caveats such as health and asteroid strikes, plans for
subsequent years are as firm as they can be.

Quick tour of the high points of the Maine coast past Penobscot Bay

Bay of Fundy up to St. Johns and the St. Johns river.

Across to Nova Scotia and up to the Eastern Tip.

Leave boat for the winter or Bermuda to Charleston if we are able to get
back to Maine first.

West Coast of Newfoundland and some of the Labrador coast.

North, East, and South coasts of Newfoundland.

Prince Edward Island and St. Lawrence.

Iceland and Scotland? Why not?


That's right...once you get all the way to Newfoundland's east coast,
you may as well keep going since you're already halfway there.

Governor's Harbour, Eleuthera, Bahamas. That is where I'm heading. Florida
to Bahama's, and Governor's Harbour.

{At some 300 years old, Governor's Harbour is the island's oldest
settlement, reportedly the landing place of the Eleutherian Adventurers. The
largest town on Eleuthera after Rock Sound, it lies midway along the
161km-long (100-mile) island; its airport is likely to be your gateway to
the island.

The town today has a population of about 1,500, with some bloodlines going
back to the original settlers, the Eleutherian Adventurers, and to the
Loyalists who followed some 135 years later. Many old homes line the streets
amid the bougainvillea and casuarina trees."}

Roger ,, Governor's Harbor, Eleuthera. Warm breeze, the water so clear it
is amazing. The friendliest people on earth. ...

Don't skip the Abacos, very nice also.

Next summer, as you are heading for Canada ,, look back ... see that sail

If either of you hear the soothing rumble of a pair of Detroit 671s up
ahead, that will be me. Fifteen thousand pounds of static thrust can
be very useful for pulling off grounded sail boats. Make sure your
cleats are through bolted. I hate it when they go whizzing by...
:-)

Wayne ,,, that rumble .. does it sound like a GULP, and the sound of a cash
register TOGETHER?

No, it sounds like two busses idling in a parking lot.

Money is only an issue when you don't have enough.

The answer to "not enough" is work.

Work is the curse of the sailing class.

Don't skip Greenland, great parties for visiting crew from what I've
been told.

Alas Wayne,, that is why I DON'T WORK!

LIFE IS WAY TOO SHORT FOR WORK.

Roger,

We are in Augusta and have been across to Nova Scotia as well as a couple of
trips up the Bay to Grand Manan etc. I would be happy to compare notes and
give you whatever info I have for your crossing.

Merry Christmas

Gentlemen,

I'm leaving for Maine and Nova Scotia from Baltimore, Maryland or New York
City in late May. I'll be stopping in Camden, Maine at Wayfarer Marine for
them to install a larger watermaker then going up to Castine for the Fourth
of July. I'll leave from Castine around the 10th of July and go to the
Shelburne Yacht Club in Nova Scotia. I spent last summer in Maine.

I also don't do well in flotillas. They slow me down too much. I've got a
2003 Beneteau 473 with 45 foot of waterline. No offense but I believe I can
out run either of you gentlemen.

Good luck.

Regards,

Cap'n Ric
