Our last goodbyes to family and friends in New England

Here we are with the entire Merri-Mar team as Shango is about to be splashed. 

The crew

She's finally back in

In the water, packing and final preparations can begin

At last, Roy and Sven can hank on their new sails

The night before our departure the sky was not cooperating 

Despite the sky, Joppa, Shango, and Marianna were all lined and ready to head south at first light

A final goodbye from Lisa, Jay Jay, Ollie, and Otis

Next morning bright and early

Amy getting Shango off the dock and underway

Leaving Newburyport

As the sun came up we headed out the river, past the dredging barge, and on our way to Provincetown

Shango underway for first time with her new sails

After a fantastic first sail, a 20 - 25 knot beam reach, we arrived in Provincetown

Provincetown Tower

Company in the Cape Cod Canal

Goodbye

Marianna powering into Cuttyhunk

Evening colors

Cuttyhunk sunset

Block Island Light

A Block Island Salt Pond sunset looks much  like a Cuttyhunk sunset

Our passage from Block Island to Cape May was a serious affair

This pretty much covers it

Cape May light heading toward the C & D canal

New sails pushing us up Delaware Bay

Tucked away at Reedy Island watching the shipping go by

Fall foliage along the C & D canal

Into the top of the Chesapeake

Motoring down the Bay
