Well the deed is done. I had a delightful sail from Port Henry to Orwell with the wind at the port stern quarter. As the day went on the air became clearer and clearer. Spectacular September weather.
Unfortunately it didn't last forever. Around noon I arrived at Orwell. Libby was waiting for me. We secured Tarwathie on a mooring. Packed our things and left. Now we're "home" in our own house, and I wish I were back on the boat.
Naturally I forgot something from the boat. This time it is the recharging cord for the cell phone. I'll have to buy a new one. With high gas prices it would cost too much to drive back to Vermont.
Sigh. I wonder how many other compelling reasons to visit the boat I'll think of in the coming week.
Next week I fly to Fairbanks Alaska to visit my son David and his family. I'll bring our dog Pup on a one way trip to his new home with Dave.
To my readers. Unless I'm specially inspired in Alaska, the next blog article may not come until October 7. So long for now.

Hello from Lorraine Fahrenkrug!! Your journal so far sounds very exciting...and you are still in the US. We have our boat at Champlain Bridge Marina there in VT. Unfortunately I think our season is about over as they are starting to pull the boats out. Andy may get there tomorrow for quick sail before removing all the gear etc. The best sailing seems to happen in the Fall- So if you see a Buccaneer 27 (with the 2 boys) give him a hollar or a wave- not sure where on Champlain you are at this time but who knows. Have a safe adventure and know you are in the thoughts (and envy) of us here on shore!! -Lorraine (FAHREAP@AOL.COM)
