The rest of 2019

 We went for some daysails over the summer, but mostly we did things around Bliss Woods Farm.  We took some Air BNB guests out for short sails, also.  We really enjoyed the visit by Ray and Alicia Alba and their two children.  Check out their activities on a great website, Albaadventures.com.    Here is an almost tragic ending to a drone video attempt they made.  Look for the seal.

 In October, Echo and Chris came up from Baltimore for a visit and to go to a wedding on Peaks Island.   Albert sailed them to Peaks, where they stayed on the boat at Jones Landing Marina-- thanks, Robin!  We actually were able to sail part of the way there:


Magus spent the winter in the water at Strout’s Point Marina, here in Freeport.  It was a fairly mild winter, so there was no drama.  The boat was winterized on the mooring, and then moved to the dock on December 1.  For no good reason, I never took any photos of the few times that it snowed, when I would go down and remove some of the heavy stuff.  The marina had a photo that I copied, though.  All of a sudden, the winter was over!  Magus went back on the mooring on April 1, 2020.
