Dealing with change
01 September 2021 | Horseneck Beach State Reserve
Pete and Susan Owens | Gray and rain
It always seems when you are in the middle of something the need to change directions always comes to surface. Something pops up and causes a new course of action. This has been constant throughout our travels. One never knows what will happen next that needs immediate attention. In this case another storm, work stuff and a 95th birthday celebration. It's not always bad or scary stuff but just life things that stare right at you.
To update, our son flew back to Seattle after four days of sailing, biking and eating wonderful New England cuisine. We so enjoyed his company. Now we had to prepare for tropical storm Ida which is packing buckets of rain and gusty winds. Yes count with me, that's three tropical storms in 9 weeks. How could we get that lucky? The pandemic has struck our work place twice in just a few weeks and the admin shortage has caused enough concern that we both agree that Sue will leave the boat and head back to Sanford. Her father, Bill Williams 95th Birthday is coming up and she will be there to honor and share her love! As for Sasha, I will carry on alone. Yesterday I sailed from Boston Harbor down through the Cape Cod Canal to a quiet cove for an overnight anchorage. This morning I sailed to Horseneck Beach State Reservation just shy of Newport where I found a mooring tucked away from most oncoming winds. Single handling Sasha a 39 foot sailboat has become easier with time. Today's first was a successful mooring tie up with no help. In a few days Sasha will continue south towards the Chesapeake. That leaves six weeks before Sasha will be hauled out and remain on the hard throughout the upcoming winter. Until then there is more sailing and places to see. Here's hoping Sue and Elliott make it back to join me soon and NO more named storms!
