A New Lily

Tom and the newest Lily
I now have two Lilies on boad, one wind vane and one real live crew, and a Maine woman. I met her at a bar here in St. Thomas with her mother and her sister and Jake Gerritsen who introduced me to her. She is also the daughter of my cardiologist and hockey foe, Ralph Hamill. We hope to leave today, Saturday April 25th and head to Bermuda. It will be the first offshore experience for one Lily and just another passage for the other Lilly. We will try to keep you posted.
You might be wondering who the heck I am... And I'm sort of wondering what the heck I'm doing here. It has all been a matter of chance and coincidence, all that 'being in the right place at the right time' stuff. I never expected to cancel my flight home and hop on a boat to Bermuda, but that's just what I've done! I can definitely say after the quick sail yesterday, Flash of Beauty is certainly a few years a head of the sail boat I'm used to cruising on in Penobscot Bay. I'm looking forward to learning everything Tom is willing to teach me- this is certainly going to be an adventure!
