Epilogue

First a message from Kimberly… (And we thank you!!)

One week on the boat is a challenge in many ways. You just get your "sea legs" and remember how to do things the right way at the right time and it's over!! On the other hand, after one week on the boat, your brain has trouble adjusting back to land, too !! --- just close your eyes in the shower and the rocking begins all over again! So, what I'm trying to say in summary is that a week is a long visit on a boat and NOT NEARLY ENOUGH. Paul spends every day teaching us so much about sailing, tying, navigating, using the technology and being meticulous in planning... then we're gone and a new crew arrives to be trained. I don't know how he does it, but it is a wonderful experience. I just hope we can remember SOME of it when we return

Albion is tucked away in Killarney channel and we are home again in Allison Park. The journey will continue on Georgian Bay around August 27^th . Shirley (my absolute favorite crew person!!) will be aboard for a couple weeks. The season starts winding down up north mid August and many places close on Labor Day. So Shirley is hoping for some warm weather. After Georgian Bay, Bill will come up and we hope to complete the Eastern Shore of Lake Huron back to Port Huron where it all started in June…

The log was an interesting experience for me; I hope you enjoyed some of it. I thank you encouragers. At least perhaps you now have a small view of what is happening when we go off to the Great, Great Lakes. There is a certain very strong lure to those of us that are called to explore. I hope you have seen some of it. I have not yet decided if I will continue this log. Time will tell…
