October 21st- Pasadena MD

Last year we completed our voyage in Pasadena MD. I was losing my blog writing mojo and left it off in Carolina Beach. We still had an interesting return trip I was just unable to keep up with the writing and photography. Eventually we made it up to Maryland and it was time to go home. We had Evergreen hauled at Oak Harbor Marina and completed the rest of our voyage by car.

The summer passed quickly and was largely taken up by house projects. We had many, many, walks through forest, fields, and beaches with our energetic companion Oliver. We met up with his pals for “Sunday Funday” all during the summer. We had family over for a nice going away party and left Dartmouth on the 16th. Ollie was happy to play with his little cousins before our departure.

Soon after our departure he became sick and stopped eating. On October 19 we laid our beloved companion to rest. He had cancer of the liver and spleen. It all happened so fast. Before his last visit to the veterinarian we found a nice country park. His energy rallied and he wanted to walk. We brought him down to the river and let him walk in the mud. We were happy that he gave us these last moments. Eventually he was tired and we left. He was gone just after sunset. We miss him a lot.

This boat has always been three, now we are two. We debated canceling our plans but decided it might be harder to go home. We will sail Evergreen south again this season.

The pirate and a deer in Pasadena. While he seems to be ignoring the deer, I’m absolutely positive if I unclipped the leash pandemonium would ensue in a split second.

The blog may be short on narrative and pictures for a while but I intend to update it regularly with our position.
