SV Why Knot- No plan, no schedule, no destination.
The passing of my life mate has ended the cruise of Why Knot. Thanks to those that followed her voyages. It gave us wonderful memories and a heck of a life

Our greatest challenge was to actually bring in the dock
lines at our home port and get going. Next came the actual
act of living aboard which is way different than weekending or
the occasional extended sail. This is life avoiding causing your
mate to drop stuff or run into bulkheads. This is having so much
stuff aboard that one has to inventory. This is life without land
transportation in strange places. This is meeting folks and hating
to say good bye, then looking forward to the time when courses cross
again, to the surprise of seeing them at some unexpected place.

The Bell Tolls
April 27, 2013
The call came and the news was not good. Bear’s Mother left the planet. Although it was not a surprise, it has the same effect. Thus, we left Why Knot for a few days and climbed into the MSU for a trip back to Texas. We are now home after two very long days driving the 1600 miles. Tomorrow we put another 250 on that count and head to west Texas to say goodbye to one very wonderful lady. A few days from now, we shall head back to Why Knot to resume preps for the continuance of the dream except this time we will relish and celebrate the life on one super human and member of our Silver Fox Race Team.
