SEE YOU IN SEPTEMBER!!!!!! 

We are back in Amherst. The 1200 mile drive home was far more stressful than the 4,000nm we travelled in Sea Holly!! Sea Holly is safe on the hard at the Deltaville Yachting Centre next to Magali so hopefully her french will improve over the summer. Our friend and mentor, Jim Nixon, told us our learning curve would be steep when we left Point du Chene Yacht Club last summer but he didn't say it would be straight up at times and that we would have to become proficient in plumbing and electrical while still working on our navigation, boating and weather skills!! I am happy to say that we've made considerable progress on our learning "curve" and met some wonderful people. We have had many helping hands along the way, maybe that's part of what make cruising so special. Our thanks to Marco and Sylvie for sharing so many "firsts" with us; Jim for all his wisdom; and Jess and Lyse on Cattails, our weather guru and great cruising partners!!
