    Hi Heidi...

    I read your 'looking to' with interest... fancy bouncing a few ideas around off-line

    Cheers... Mark in the BVI

    Good Morning Heidi!

    Well I did it! Quietly and I sailed in to Newport Rhode Island at 10:30 last evening (July 3rd) from the Caribbean.

    It has been 7 years (Nov 2002) since Quietly and I have been in the US waters! It seam surreal and I admit a HUGE culture shock after living in the Islands for so long.

    Among other things I have completely forgotten that you must have a car! I have become so accustomed to excelent local busses that run every five minutes that I was shocked to learn I would have to take a taxi to go to Wall*Mart to purchase some long pants and a blanket.

    I can't believe it is this cold! I actually had to pull my sleeping bag out because I was freezing! No more sleeping under a single sheet with 75 degree evenings!

    I wanted to do something different for this hurricane season that yet another summer in Grenada & Trinidad. So sailing New England came to mind and with the help of Britt on Sea Otter and new friends from Find A Crew I headed north. I will spend the summer sailing the south half of Maine and working my way to Mass then back to RI and Conn and a stop at the West 79 St Marina in New York City on my way to Annapolis and then Washington DC to anchor out behind the Jefferson Memorial in October. Then finally I will and then head south again come fall to either the Caribbean or perhaps the Bahamas where I have never been.

    If you have any friends out here on the East Coast who could show me around some of New England have them send me a note!

    Best wishes!
