Finally Back In The USA
We finally arrived in Scituate Mass. last Friday. I was towed to a dock provided by Scituate Boat Works http://www.scituateboatworks.com/ . The weekend was very busy, we had many visitors. The local radio station interviewed me and was broadcast Sunday morning. The boat will be moved out to a mooring soon. Thanks to all who helped us the last two months. The trip from Iceland was a real eye opener. We encountered four gales and the boat did great. The waves crashed over the boat several times, WOW!!! And there were the break downs ( Broken Stays, Wind vane steering system, Engine Fuel system, Toilet) very frustrating. We had porpoises swimming under the bow, pilot and humpback whales within 50 yards of the boat. Now I need to find work so the boat can be totally refit. Four years in the Arctic has been very hard on her.
