I bought this fun poster for my Captain.  It's a surprise!  Don't tell....  Isn't it great!?

Summer Has Begun....

Summer is officially here.  But it is a sad start for me.  Memorial Day weekend marks the beginning of summer here in New England and our Monday holiday felt the heat....we had 81 degrees on the thermometers and often it felt hotter than that.  But sadly,early this week my father, of only a mere 62 years young, died.  He enjoyed sailing his own boat and often came out with us for a sail each summer.  he was soo happy that I became and "adventure" type of girl and was comfortable with trying new things and especially at home on the water.

Here he is last summer, behind the helm of our boat Sea Mist.

I will miss him soo much.
