hello yvonne,
thanks for the link. yes, we sail fairly often in the
winter here. new england has a nice "frostbiter" crowd
which gets together almost every sunday for a little
blast form marblehead, ma.after tight'n up a lil at
matty's up to the blackburn tavern in gloucester, ma.
and then wind up back in the mystic harbor of salem,
ma. i must say though, i dont always have the vega
out, normally i am in a sonar. but i sailed the vega a
couple of weeks ago out to provencetown on cape cod,
about a 90 mile jaunt each way which was a good time.
the "rum ration" even lasted which was nice as it did
get a bit chilly out there. the next journey for the
winter will be to portland maine, a couple of boats
were heading up last weekend however a fairly big
storm blew in on the east coast so we had to put it
off. i have vega#482 named "2Z", had it for about 6
years now and logged quite a bit on travels in it.
started the journey in chicago and sailed out to the
east coast and then down to florida. played around a
winter in the islands and then headed back to the
boston area, north shore. some great sailing out here
and specatular views. nothing like a run out to the
bank on a saterday morning, bobbing like a cork with
whales all around, and then watch a nice sunset and
ride the moonbeams back to port. after doing this
once, i found a new home so here i am in mass.
be well,
tim
