New adventures

Cupcake sold last weekend. Moss and I delivered her to her new owner on Monday. Moss drove most of the way from our mooring to the Harraseeket River where Cupcake will be staying until the end of hurricane season. I trimmed the sail while Moss took the helm for a very pleasant broad reach to the river, and Moss commented, “this is magical.” And Cupcake is magical. We enjoyed a decade of adventure aboard that big girl and are very pleased she will be having more adventures with her new owner who will be a full-time live aboard. There are plans in the works to head to Florida this fall and we are a little jealous.

Next steps for us? We’re looking for a sweet daysailer with a gaff rig. So something like this:

But no huge rush. We’ve got the little 17’ Mako for bombing around, we’ve got the fleet of Dyers (Cupcake Cup is this weekend), so it’s not like we are without boatiness.
