Fair Winds, Snowbirds!
Went sailing twice this week, both great days. On Tuesday I saw a black schooner motoring west. I recognized it from Oyster Bay. I closed with him under sail, we exchanged compliments. Later, I decided to sail into Port Jeff and find him. Came alongside, accepted an invitation aboard. Nice guy, lives aboard, headed south from Maine. I also saw a lovely gaff ketch come in, and a very large marconi ketch. Thursday I crossed close astern of a Bristol Channel Cutter, all rigged for cruising. I guess it's that time of year, to see visitors passing through, southbound. I wish them well, but it gave me a bit of cruising envy.
