Signs of spring

our daffodils look so pretty (new mulch to be delivered soon)

safety seminar at the Yacht Club - boating season is around the corner

Chris on a business trip to Seattle - pics of Mt Rainier - in the afternoon and evening

walking the dog!  Bolts is loving his walks around town

Quahoggers are out and about too!

but it's cloudy and chilly most days

Bolts and Bean are getting along just fine

Sunset from our bedroom window - overlooking the harbor in the background

 

We bought a new sailboat!

new to us - it's a 2015 Tartan 101.  It's name is Tomfoolery, and we'll keep it.  Our friend Peggie who has passed away - had a boat named Tomfoolery, so we're taking it as a sign from her :)

It's currently at Stanley's boat yard in Barrington, RI.  It came from OH, a fresh water lake boat, so we need to update the bottom paint.  Always projects with a new toy!

 

Back into our daily routine

breakfast :)

and walking the dog!

then relaxing :)

 

On the road again!

we took a few days to head north to RI.  We left on Thursday afternoon and arrived in RI on Sunday at noon.

our second night, we stayed at South of the Border (between NC and SC).  They have a really nice inexpensive campground

and they have a large outdoor motocross - we never knew - it was quiet on our day, but Chris talked to a couple riders who come here frequently and love it

South of the Border  - lots of little shops, pretty quiet (it's been here forever and most people have stopped, and have no interest in stopping again).  But we will, since the campground is great!

Day 3 - cruising right along - into DC traffic, yuk!

we finally made it to Delaware and Midnight Oil Brewing company - a harvest host

Sunday morning - up bright and early to beat NYC traffic

we take the long way around to avoid the horribly rough GW bridge

Home sweet home!

 

Heading north

always have lots of bags!!

it was a rainy departure - Bolts wasn't too happy.  But we weren't going far - only to Brooksville to visit Chris' mom's husband Tony.    His neighbor, Mary, had a new toy so she took Chris for a ride

Big Blue - looking good!!

 

Final FL days - a last Regatta!

my last day in FL for the season - I volunteered at one of the Luffing Lassies regattas

a good crowd - but the weather didn't cooperate - way too stormy unfortunately.

it looked beautiful - but the wind was crazy

we still stayed at the squadron all day.  Chris came & met me for lunch

'awards' and thank you's were given out at the end
