Ahoy from Namaste in Sag Harbor

How is everybody? Hope you are all well and happy.

We had a great time in Martha’s Vineyard with Malcolm, Tennessee and Liz. Malcolm and Tennessee entertained, fed, toured and generally showed us a great time. We thank them!

Well we are headed south! And, back to Deltaville and then home to Charlottesville. It is hard to believe that a year ago August 15th we moved onto Namaste. We are savoring every moment.

After we left the Vineyard we went back to Hadley Harbor to enjoy a quiet and pristine little harbor. From there we sailed back down the Elizabeth Islands to Cuttyhunk Island and then on to Block Island. We were pushing to get to Long Island to see family and did not linger along the way.

We have Namaste on a mooring in Sag Harbor and we are spending two wonderful days with Pete and Michelle, our family in Remsenburg. We have seen friends and met a couple of new friends. We are eating very well as Michelle is an amazing cook. We are spending lots of time around the kitchen table laughing and catching up with one another. What a treat! We will head back out to Namaste later this morning.

From here we head back through Long Island Sound making our way to Sandy Hook, New Jersey. We have not yet decided whether to take the ICW back to Deltaville or to go outside to Norfolk. We will know better when we can take a closer look at the weather.

In the meantime we are savoring every moment. It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since we moved aboard Namaste.

Well we have much to do today and so I will write more later. Just wanted to catch up while we have Internet access.

We look forward to going home as much as we will be sorry not to wake up on the water each morning.

Peace and Love
