Well, we are back in the boat yard (wonderful place with great boating folks -- Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage) and Gratitude is pretty much decommissioned. We still have a few chores to do, but we are better organized and more efficient in space this year, so we have less clutter (at least once things are picked up, bagged, boxed, and stored) so it will be easier to rec-mmission her next Fall. We will post a proper end of voyage report in due course. Suffice to say, the time and trip have been great and we are very thankful for this vessel,our time together, and the opportunity to explore and meet wonderful new folks!

Until then.
