Jared stayed with us for the week after the Fourth and spent five days attending a sailing class in Rockland Harbor. Initially a reluctant attendee, he was honored as the "Nautical Natural" of the class by the instructors at the end of the week for having been the most improved sailor. While Jared was sailing we did some sightseeing with Joe Mueller before he left on the 8th and then spent the rest of the week engaged in one of our favorite pastimes - looking at real estate. This turned out to be timely as we had put our house in Providence on the market in mid June and somewhat to our surprise we have a contract on it to close in mid-August. On Saturday, the 12th, a house in Camden was listed for sale that was just what we were looking for and within walking distance of Camden village and harbor. On Monday we signed a contract to buy it - closing the day after our Providence closing . We celebrated today by cruising to Warren Island State Park to enjoy the serene surroundings.
