Sounds wonderful! Keep in touch and we’ll make something work. Hi Tom, If you need help the second week, I would be available. I would prefer meeting up after the Canal to Maine. I’ve made that transit many times. Kathy (Periwinkle)

Hi Is anyone in the greater Boston area interested in sailing on an Ericson 34 out of Newburyport, MA? If you are an experienced sailor without a boat or just want to sail a different size boat from what you own, please contact me. I don’t want to sail out of the Merrimack River alone...
