Bon Voyage



 "Dear Dan and Allyson ---> We respect your courage and ability. In a world of plastic wrapped food and constant text messages you have liberated yourselves  and set out to experience the most beautiful synergy. Man + machine elegantly moving across the sea. No invention of mankind is more beautiful then a finely tuned sail boat making a passage." Jeffery Oliveira 

This weekend we had friends and family come celebrate and say goodbye. We don't leave for another 2 weeks but didn't want to miss the opportunity to get everyone together. It was such a beautiful summer night under a full moon. We are so grateful for the love and support we receive on a daily basis. Special thanks to my Dad, Bruce for supplying the party with copious amounts of beer, burgers, and dogs. Thanks to Constitution Marina for providing us a community and for tolerating our take over of T-Dock for several hours and not calling the coastguard when we piled 20 adults onto the boat to move back to E Dock. Thank you to all who came! There were beautiful toasts as we blessed the boat with rum. Scrubbing the deck this morning was worth it.
