We are looking forward to getting underway once again! We had planned to leave by now, but a cold snap last week with nighttime temps in the high 30's brought back memories of last fall! We decided to take an extra few days to install a diesel heater, so that we won't have to stay in marinas all the time to plug in to electric for heat. Of course, all the parts that were supposed to be in the installation kit weren't there, so progress with the installation has been slow.
After the heater is in and working, a few more details, and then we'll be off!
The September winds have been constant, which impedes progress as well. You know you're working too much when you have a sailboat, but the wind is a detriment to progress!
As much as we know that scheduling is the antithesis to happy cruising, we really want to attend Kirianne and Marcus' wedding in Northville on October 3, so we need to get the boat to a good spot to leave it for a few days so that we can go back home for this exciting event.

I guess y'all are into the Hudson,now. The geese here are slow to arrive, but we're headed out on our "goose cruise" today, anyway. We'll be out pretty much the whole week (Octl 4-10) but will be going to the Annapolis Sailboat Show sometime on the weekend. Monday night when they break up the show is worth seeing. Gotta get a few things at the show,too. Good luck.
Hello? So where are you? What's happening? We're expecting the big freeze even in the Hudson valley tonight (10-11) so am assuming you're in a warmer place! Enjoy everything:)
