Boat is in and Rigged -Shakedown for Cruise 2022

 Boat is in and finally rigged.  Looking forward to departing St. Andrews, NB for Lunenburg, NS in just over a week with Whisky Run.  First time back to the area since 2019... Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

The Beginning of Another Year (Away from the water)

 Being away from the coast and the ability just to drive down and see the boat sitting on the hard has been interesting.  About as far from salt water both Atlantic & Pacific as one can be... Geographic center of Canada for several months.  Returning back to the Maritimes mid Apil.  The boat has sat quietly on the hard awaiting the warmer spring months where she'll be getting prettied up for the 2022 sailing season.  Looks like the plan is to make way around the coast of Nova Scotia again to Lunenburg / Mahone Bay area.  First time since Covid-19.  Enjoyed a great fall sail this past September with Whiskey Run to Yarmouth, NS and back to St. Andrews, NB -First time able to do that being freshly retired!

More to follow once back east to start the commissioning process... a few images from 2021 Yarmouth Cruise...
