Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do. This is about our life !
Danielle was away all weekend for the recitals of her dance school. So on Monday, we took off and anchored off Great Brewster Island. The weather was perfect to spend a lazy Monday at anchor.
We did not get to sail a lot, but the idea was just to get out of there
On the way back we encountered one of the largest Tall Ships heading out of Boston. It was the Spanish Schooner Juan Sebastian Delcano. I ended up getting a few nice shots.
Our annual Season opener Party was scheduled for July 5. We had Matt come over as our musician, and many friends from many harbors joined us :)
Buzz and Marcy sailed down with us back from Misery Island. Chris and Erin, Ed and Annie and other friends friends from Constitution came over. Most of the party was held at the Tiki Bar and everybody had a great time.
On June 4, 2010, we had a great sail to Salem, where we met up with our friends Buzz and Marcy on S/V Emeraude. They live on a mooring on Emmy in Salem.
We rafted up on the north side of Misery Island, and had a great evening.
It was great to see them again, and Misery Island is one of my favorite spots, especially if it is not that crowded.
One word of caution though. If you drop the hook, or grab a mooring on Misery Island, I would suggest that you stay away from being close to land. The mosquitoes can be quite a bunch. We always carry big Citronella candles with us. They provide great mood light and keep the mosquitoes away in the evenings
Next day, Buzz did have to do his annual "Replacement of the alternator belt in the middle of the Ocean" routine after we towed them out into the clear. Then we sailed back to Boston to celebrate our combined belated birthdays, as well as the beginning of the season.
That party may make it into the blog when I have time. In the meantime, we had the absolutely perfect wind sailing from Salem to Boston. I could not resist doing this video to KD Lang's rendition of Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen .
