Rockland via Dix Island and Perrys Creek

We had a beautiful couple of days slowly bringing the boat to Rockland. We spent a night at Dix Island then sailed over to Vinalhaven to spend a night at Perrys Creek.

Fun Times With Friends

We sailed the boat to Tenants Harbor and met the Weymouths on WILDWOOD.  On Sunday Dave and Nanette sailed with us.  Thank you Dave for showing us how to use the spinnaker!

New Radar Post and Solar Panel

First Overnight

We spent our first night on the boat at one of our favorite places, Harbor Island. It was wonderful to finally have a chance to enjoy the boat.  We are thrilled with how well she sails!

Goodbye Rondo

We were happily surprised at the amount of interest we had in RONDO.  The new owners are very nice and we hope they have a great time with this fun little boat.

Blisters

Because of the age of the boat we had expected some blisters.  It turned out "some" became "lots". This was a long and time consuming job to properly dry out and repair all of the blisters.
