This is no hardship
There is no more thrilling sensation I know of than sailing. It comes as near to flying as man has got to yet - except in dreams. Jerome K. Jerome

Boston 22/08/10

I took a trip back to Boston, for a couple of days.


It's a great city, with a super anchorage, and very friendly people.

On the way back to Gloucester, I seemed to go back in time


What a beautiful sight.
After that, I had a 25 knot close beat, back to Gloucester.

Here is a picture of a porthole with my rail in the water, it looks like the Moon.

Gloucester, Mass,

I am now lying in Gloucester, Mass, for a couple of weeks, what a beautiful place.


I have just come back down from Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, after leaving Lunenburg , I sailed out to Sable Island, not to stop just to go there and get a feel for the place, I was asked why i sailed there, my reply was, I walked on the Beach's of Normandy as well, it's just getting  the feel of  the history,

                                                                     Lunenburg




I then sailed back to Maine, Is Au Hauth, Before slipping on down to Boston, I stayed there for a couple of days, before heading back to Gloucester, some great sailing.
