Greetings from the southern coast of Maine. Will be heading down the coast in September for warmer climates. No snow this Christmas! :-)

Hi Captn Ron!
Thanks so much for the welcome mat! Hope to meet you "where the butter melts" in the future! We're just learning to sail, and can't wait till we can sail to Florida from Louisiana. Next year at the latest! Love your pictures!
