It Is Now Officially....The End

Juli CT - Well, its warm for February
Well fellow sailbloggers....it is now the end for us so we will officially hang up our sailing blog. We sold our beloved boat to a lovely couple who plan to cruise in her for at least 10 years - check out "Abundance" who is also on this site ! It was tough watching good old Lucky Escape sail off last year - its funny how attached you can get to a boat....I was all teary when she left. But we are happy she is in such great hands and will be used as she should be.

With our 6-month old son we are now land lubbers and settling into Cape Cod life. We couldnt stand to be without boat projects for long so we just purchased a small Rampage, which John will also use for his new marine career. Sad to now longer have a sailboat but it just wasnt practical......

I will continue to follow the wonderful blogs we read on here - and hope to see you again in the Carribean in 8 to 10 years when we will sail away again....
