We are finishing our final preparations and waiting for our crew, Ellen Baird and Dave Dudgeon to join us for a fun weekend of activities before departing along with another 119 boats participating in the Fall 2013 Salty Dawg Rally.
The current plan, weather permitting is to leave Hampton on Monday and take 7-9 days to arrive in the BVI's to spend a lot of time in the Caribbean this winter.
Since our last trip, we have added a new generator, updated the bimini, got rid of the trash compactor and added a small central vac, and most importantly upgrade all of our electronics, along with several other small changes.
We sailed in Central Maine this summer with some of our wonderful friends and look forward to going back again next summer. We are looking forward to meeting many new friends and seeing other friends from year's past as we move Distant Star to warmer waters.
