The Gypsies Go South Again
17 October 2007
Hi All,
I know, this is a sail blog, so we rightfully should not be on it at all. But here we go again, and all of your addresses are here!
Well, while we would DEARLY like to be aboard Katannah heading down the eastern coast again, the boat has gone to Maine for some work over this winter, and we are--as is promised--in our rented Cruise America RV!
The kids are appalled, and until the end of the first three days, so were we. Here goes....
Wed., October 17: After a huge photo finish leaving the house (we had the house painted, and the painters lost a week to rainy weather and were finishing up and reinstalling shutters the very AM that we were leaving), we left Clifton Avenue in mid-afternoon and shot our way towards the Cape and Middleboro to pick up our "rig".
Got checked out on "the campa", dropped off our rental car and headed to Chris and CC Cunningham's for the night. We had a wonderful evening with these good friends who we had last seen aboard our respective boats in Marion in July.
Thursday, October 18: We have showers and breakfast chez Cunningham and then head out for Sag harbor, LI, NY by noon. Steve has a nice drive to the New London ferry
where we cross to Orient Point and then over to Shelter Island and on to Sag Harbor to my college friend and husbnd's home on Noyack Bay. We have a great dinner with the Birchbys and turn in in their driveway, ready to leave for points south the next morning.
For all pictures go to the gallery and scroll all the way down to the end (page 17), click on that and that should hopefully bring you to the pix of this latest adventure.
