Down Time

And almost back to normal. It was a good season and the skipper, crew and boats are safely home. Time to re-examine gear, make repairs, clean up, put things back in order and work on adjusting back into normal life.

It’s been a tough two years adjusting to the loss of patriarch Perry’s wisdom and experience, coupled with the rapid decline and loss of his wife a year and a half later. Those family illnesses and losses created one of the most difficult years ever, but they must be watching over Tom and the crew and the boat carefully, bringing them safely through the season and home to family and friends.
