Since 1978 I have been fortunate to sail wooden boats. In 2006 I set out to find a Drascombe Longboat Cruiser for single-handed expedition sailing. This is the continuing story of how it came to be, our adventures, notes on the maritime world and other things I don't want to forget...

Over and Out

 Last week I sold Annie to a new friend Rob from Atlanta. He and his friend Steve came to Urbanna and spent the morning with John and I at John and Vera's house. Rob is a fine fellow and is thrilled with learning to sail, caring for Annie and taking her into the future. I was quite numb after they drove off but have popped back. At least enough to write this. 



Eleanor and I are planning to move to Portugal in October. There is much left to do and we are looking forward to making a go of it. I am interested in doing some sailing in England when we visit our daughter and boyfriend. And maybe there will be another boat on the horizon. But for now I'm signing off.

Thank you for sharing my log and maritime discoveries. Take care and remember to reef early.
