Friday June 17th saw us get the radar reflectors attached to the shrouds ready for our voyage. Thanks Rochelle and Dustin for your help! Then we had friends join us for an evening sail and dinner on Prairie Gold. We sailed out to President's Roads and back, close reach on the way out and a beam each on the way back. We managed to dodge storms and had a great evening. For dinner Yolande cooked salmon with wasabi and mayo dressing topped off with kale! The kale was a great and flavorsome touch.
As I type, brother Dave is driving to Heathrow on his way over for the beginning of our big apple adventure. Our current itinerary calls for us to depart at 7am Sunday june 18th (Yolande is looking forward to that time) and sail to Plymouth, MA (I did have to alert my brother that there are at least two Plymouth's and our intent is not to sail to Plymouth UK. Well not on this trip.) Next Saturday we are scheduled to arrive in Manhattan and stay at Chelsea Piers. Follow us, we will blog each day, and we will provide stories and pictures of our adventures.
Note on the righthandside of the blog is a link to the spot messenger GPS device we carry on Prairie Gold. follow the link and it will show our route. See you all back in Boston in July.
