New Boats

Livin' Easy

We finally got to sail for a while between Rochester and Point Breeze.  The winds had been quite strong overnight, and were still blowing from the north as we were leaving.  Because of the tight mooring at RYC, Marv helped us off the dock, and we would have been fine...if another boat we didn't see hadn't been leaving at the same time.  With some quick maneuvering, we managed not to hit anyone.  Livin' Easy left shortly after us, and we crisscrossed paths for a while.  As we headed further west, so did the wind, and as a result we ended up motor sailing most of the way.

Anahata

As we entered Oak Orchard creek, someone came out onto a dock and was waving at us.  It was David from QCYC.  He has purchased a Passport 42 - Anahata - and is refitting her prior to going on a long term cruise to the south Pacific.  To avoid import duties, he won't be bringing the boat to Canada, and is doing the work at the Point Breeze Marina.
Our only disappointment was that the bridge we used to walk over to get to Brown's Berry Patch, is gone.  Going to the next bridge south would have added at least a couple of kilometers to our walk, so no ice cream for us.
