We drove out to Wisconsin, taking our time to travel along back roads through New Hampshire and Vermont instead spending all our time on the interstate.

The Memorial Gathering for my mother was as it should be - lots of stories, lots of laughter, too much food. My mother would have loved being the center of such attention! It was great to see all my siblings and to have them get to know our two wonderful daughters-in-law. We live in several different states, and though we are in touch electronically, it has been many years since we have all been together in person.
We got back to Maine on Wednesday July 13. Tommie the cat was pretty standoffish with us for leaving her behind, but has forgiven us now that we have all moved back onto the Willie Dawes. We spent our first night aboard on a friend’s mooring in Pulpit Harbor and then had a lovely, leisurely cruise over to Blue Hill Bay where we grabbed a mooring for the night. This beautiful little place is one of our favorite places - it offers serenity and beauty and usually no one else is here.

We hung out all afternoon and much of the next morning before moving on. Today (Saturday, July 16) we are anchored at the head of Somes Sound. It’s lovely here as well, though the Sound is always busy on the weekend. The Friendship Sloop Society is hold a regatta here today and we did a very slow pass as we admired those beautiful boats.
