Great Day

The Open House
Albany Yacht Club, N42 39 W73 45

The open house was a resounding success from our point of view. We had 20 guests. Everyone enjoyed themselves, especially Libby and I. Even better, the 20 didn't all come at the same time so we didn't heel Tarwathie over very much.

Thank you all for comming. It meant a lot to us. One of the hardest things about our decision to tour the world is that we'll have so little contact with dear friends and family.

I promised several times yesterday to never stop blogging, so I guess I'll have to keep the promise. That is another way to extend contact with friends and family, albeit indirectly.

I'll post pictures of the Open House soon.

Today (Sunday) is our 40th wedding anniversery, so Libby and I are off celebrating. First stop was a Panera Bread Store for some coffee and blogging. The picture is of Libby and I writing this blog telling you that we're taking the picture. (explanation, old hackers love recursive humor).

  1. I've never "blogged" before so I have no idea if I'll be successful in leaving a message. In any event, Kathie and I really enjoyed seeing some old friends (that's not to be interpreted as friends that are old, just people we've known for a long time). The Tarwathie seems very seaworthy but a bit on the small side for open water sailing. I guess that's where the skill comes in. The one question I forgot to ask was what's a Tarwathie? The answer is probably buried somewhere in Dick and Libby's blog site; maybe I'll have a look. Then again, maybe I'll just wait until someone explains it to me.

  2. Thanks Steve, glad you had fun.

    Tarwathie is a town in Ireland. It's also the name of a Joan Colins song about sailors and sailing. I'll post the song to the blog.
