Voila...the boat is winter ready..and we now can enjoy talking walks in the woods, raking leaves, and working on boat and house projects...



The captain is curently looking into Companies that sandblast boats in order to get estimates...

And when the appeal of the sea gets too strong, we can always read about other sailors' adventures. One event that is going to keep us focused on the Internet will be the sailboat race LA ROUTE DU RHUM ...Solo from Saint-Malo, France to Guadeloupe..The only time we actually witnessed an ocean sailboat race was in Antigua...and it was exciting! Now, in the Route du Rhum, the distance is much greater and not at a great time of the year to cross the Atlantic...In the last race (2006), it was done in 7 days....wow! We relate to these challenges so much better now that we have had our "little" stunt in the North Atlantic!!!

One should not forget that all routes lead to Rum....
