So we finally left the dock behind! Problems with wind generator, diesel generator and 220V charger that held us on the dock for the past week are all remedied, and we set sail!

Autopilot is great!

Blue Sky, 10Kts across the beam! What a way to start retirement!

This weekend we’ll be attending a Seven Seas Cruising Association (SSCA) in Essex, CT – a 2 day trip – and here we are anchored at the halfway stop, Fisher’s Island – after a great sail on a warm sunny day with 10kts of wind mostly on the beam with which Toodle-oo! managed to eek out 7 knots! Not bad considering how much stuff is aboard!

Home for the night. Posh Fisher’s Island – complete with unlocked WiFi to poach!

Finally, we are living the dream!
