Well, the weather has fully turned, boat's up on the hard and the only thing to look forward to is planning our long cruise next summer.

In 2012 we're sailing with Club Beneteau Chesapeake Bay, the BOLD group (Beneteau Owners Living the Dream) to New York City and Block Island. This will be our first cruise outside of the Bay and are looking forward to it. Looks like Kathy's uncle Bump will be crewing with us, should be great.

Also in January I'm taking the Basic and Intermediate Navigation classes with Annapolis School of Seamanship. We'll see how that goes!

I'll post more as the planning for the BOLD trip progresses.
