A Fitting End

South Burlington, Vermont
No LL

This is where I hop off from Dave's trip. Dave has to continue from here to his new home in Raleigh, North Carolina. Me, I'm reunited with Libby and Tarwathie.

Today, Dave and I did the perfect finale for our trip together. The weather was splendid, so the two of us went for a sail on Tarwathie. We sailed over to New York, circumnavigated Schuyler Island and then returned to Burlington. The weather was perfect, 12 knots at the start up to 19 knots at the end of the trip. We were close hauled all the way. Tarwathie was a happy girl and so wasn't Dave at the helm. We hit a peak speed of 7.2 knots which put a smile on Dave's face.

By the way, Dave now has 7,700 miles on his truck since leaving Fairbanks. The distance from here to there as the crow flies is only 2,700 miles. He did a lot of touring.
