April 23rd NH left Newport Yacht Club for repairs at NEB in Portsmouth. After five weeks and lots of attention - and frustration - she is on the lift and ready to be splashed. She is beautifully waxed and polished with rub rail repaired from damage during a storm at Newport. A new Davit System for easier dinghy assess, swim platform adjusted, two hundred feet of anchor rode added to the already one hundred feet of chain, and four new house batteries. We are indeed ready for our cruising agenda.
Nana and Nandad attended the AGLCA spring rendezvous in Norfolk VA which was so much fun and really prepared us for the next phase of our cruising. We have lots of manuals, guidebooks etc and with our new heavy duty fenders ( and big rubber gloves ) feeling prepared for the locks along the way. NH will leave Newport tomorrow morning for Fischer Island. Nana and Nandad plan to cruise 40 to 50 miles a day taking our time to get to the Hudson River. So excited for our journey which we hope will take us into the Erie Canal, Lake Ontario, Rideau River, Ottawa River, Montreal, St Lawerence River and Quebec City. Lots to explore.
