This week my son set off as a member of Greyhawk, a 1980's vintage 34-foot Person sailing boat. The new owner of the boat, a New Hampshire university professor, bought her for $12,000 and is sailing her from Maryland to Maine. My son is part of a six member crew helping with the passage.
You can see Greyhawk in the picture to the left; it's the small one on the left hand side of the pier.But the weather has conspired against the good ship Greyhawk and her crew from the very start. A storm front set against the Northeast and hunkered down all week like a huskie on a cold night; the storm just refused to leave the coast.
Greyhawk, which already was looking small for six men for a week at sea, must have seemed like little more than a postage stamp at times during her passage.
They are due in July 1st and I anxiously await the details. In the meantime, here's a little slideshow of the Greyhawk and her preparations.
