“It’s better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.” —Unknown

What a difference a clean bottom and running gear makes…one step closers to cruising on.

From Palm Beach we made a six-night offshore run to reach Boston, stopping for three nights at Cape Lookout to wait for a weather system to pass through the Boston area and one night at Plymouth so that we could enter Boston Harbor in the morning rather than at night. We got a good push…
