Dear Shipmates
Introduction
My wife retired from sailing recently to pursue painting and to have more time with our grandchildren. I have been building my skills as a solo sailor and enjoying the challenge of it but there are times, particularly on overnight passages, where sailing with others is helpful and enjoyable. For '24 it will be overnights and short cruises with an extended cruise in Maine planned for '25.
