I just enjoyed three days of on Gwyneth, delivering her to Cortes Island, her new home port. It was mostly fine weather but also mostly head winds which means a lot of motoring. Anyway, I had a good trip and a wonderful visit with some new boating friends in Lund, Steve and Barb Mohan who have the Carlotta, a Bristol Channel pilot cutter and Jim Sepkowsky who owns a Nova Scotia schooner called "Maryke Violet" which I discovered was orignally called the William A Moir and built by Ben Heisler in Chester, NS. I knew Ben and the WAM as she was known, when I first came over from England in 1967. It was quite a surprise to find her here!
Here is Gwyneth approaching the entrance to Cortes Bay after a fast sail from Lund.Progress on May's Garden is proceeding very well. Robbie has started on the septic field and Romney Shipway is doing the foundations for the workshop. It's great to see things starting to happen!
