A week ago we traveled from Michigan to Connecticut to reconnect with “Thistle”. Eric worked on a few projects during Covid i.e. a new sea hood, spinnaker pole, and winch bases. He also repainted the bull works once we arrived.
I spent my covid time reading and knitting. I also did my share of weeding and playing with my sister’s dogs Franke and Johne. Thank you to Karen for housing us during a pandemic.
Thistle was launched today at The Dutch Wharf. The next few days will be busy putting on sails, finishing a few projects and getting ready to leave.
Where are we headed? Great question and it all depends on Covid restrictions. Yesterday, Rhode Island was on the restricted list for several states. We will do a shake down cruise on Long Island Sound and evaluate the situation.
Hopefully, everyone stays safe and healthy!
Happy 95th birthday to our dear friend Rosemary. Love you!
