Doug & Dale sent me a lin...Hi Mick & Bea, <br /><br />Doug & Dale sent me a link to your blog late last summer. Read with interest. Then, went back to look some weeks recently to note you had been at Eaton's at same time as RHODORA. Usually bring our boat home to Bow, NH (keep in Rockland, ME) but took a break & picked Eaton's on friend's recommendation - got there Sat before Sandy, left Sunday. Kenny put R on one of the moorings nearby in Smith's Cove for the storm, within view of you, I'd guess.<br /><br />I could ID with the overnight to the Cape in cold wx as we'd done an Oct passage to the Canal maybe 5 years before. Passage Oct 26th, '11 to Portsmouth from Muscongus last year...NW 30ish kts, brrry adventure. Used to keep boat in Quissett harbor just before Wood's Hole. Started/finished a circumnavigation from there. Fond memories of the Elizabeth's incl Hadley's. Used to sneak ashore there to take post-summer runs on those lovely islands. Lost a chrome-plated vent there in a wind & a diver found it on harbor bottom, c. 1983. Cuttyhunk, another late season favorite - sailed into there one Nov eve as the sun dipped ahead, off the bow.<br /><br />Newton, IOW - we visited a sailor named Tom Fenwick who owned Ningwood Dairy Farm up the road. Tom's in his 80s now. <br /><br />So a lot of memories over the stern! I'd like to "get free" again for an Atlantic basin circumnavigation. Have to deal with 2 dogs plus one or two other things...maybe, hopefully. For now, read such logs as yours!<br /><br />Too bad we missed you by only a day or two! Who would have imagined.<br /><br />Fair winds,<br /><br />Bob & Beth LuxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
