Postcard from Al & Karen (formerly Pegasus)

R-Matey

Just received the nicest postcard from Al & Karen. They're finally cruising Maine in their new boat. Just sailed from Beverly, ME and stayed the first night in a quiet cove (Isle of Shoals?). The first boat they saw was a C-Dory "Tidal Wave". They continued on the next day to South Freeport, ME and went exploring with their dinghy into a nearby cove (Merepoint) where they met "Miss Ginna", a 22' C-Dory. The owners Dr. Robert and Bonnie Story also know the owners of "Halcyon" which Al & Karen recalled meeting at the C-Dory Open House. Small world!

Al & Karen also mentioned that they're enjoying that area of Maine; that it's very much like the San Juans but the crab pots are all lobster pots and the boats are a bit more traditional. The homes along the shore are also quite unique. While not doing much email yet, they're planning on heading to Booth Bay?, ME; that they're having a great time - all is going well and "Hi to all C-Dorys"

what a great couple they are, glad to hear they're having a good time. At one time they where looking into cannal cruising in Europe, I wonder if they're working their way over there. What kind of boat do they have now?

It's a sailboat but I don't remember the brand. I think 36 feet.

They've realized a retirement that many only daydream about. Thanks for the update, Ruth and Joe.
