My crew is jumping ship, at least for a while. Brian is off to spend at least a month with his cousin and her family. He always has a good time, and he's close enough that i can pick him up for a day sail or even a weekend sail.
He leaves Friday afternoon, his first day of summer vacation.
That weekend, I am going to put the boat in the water in Highlands, NJ and sail over to Sandy Hook. There's a nice looking bay that appears to be a great place to anchor for the night. Then Sunday, I'll do a bit more sailing and come home. I want to test the tent, the camping equipment and the new sunshade I just finished. (yeah, I know - I owe pictures).
Next month, I am still looking at a run down to the Chesapeake Bay near Dundalk, Maryland. That will be 3 or 4 days on board! How cool is that?
