LET THE SUMMER BEGIN
June 2021 Cherry Cove doesn't get any better than this
Almost July and this is the scene on a Tuesday. The solitude is striking. Hiking out to Cat Harbor we see an explosion of yellow cactus flowers. Even the weeds are declaring blooms. It is peaceful, quiet, waiting for the onslaught of summer. We are lucky to be here early. The Island is changing. Two Harbors is changing. Off to Whites Landing where the former kids' camp is gone and it is now an AirBnB alongside and excursion company. Even a bunch from Brazil is there. People hanging out on the dock formerly forbidden to dinghies.
2021 A New Season Begins
It begins with a haul-out. New thru-hulls, rudder housing & bearings, bottom paint, waxing.

Recipe: Convergence Pasta Sauce
Like our Boat’s name, with this sauce all things come together.
Toward the end of a cruise, we tend to try to use up the provisions that we have.
No amounts are listed. This is a “leftovers” recipe, so use what you have and judge amounts accordingly.
Start with:
Onion, carrot, bell pepper, fresh tomatoes—chop finely. If you are near a food processor, use that for onions & carrots.
Begin with onions, carrots and cook in small amount of olive oil. Add bell peppers & tomatoes.
Add a little bit of water to steam and cook thoroughly. (about fifteen minutes on low)
Add salt, pepper, two or three cloves of garlic, basil ,oregano, paprika, catsup (or whatever red sauce you like).
Add some sort of cheese. I added spread cheese left over. It had a few spices of its own.
Cook for about 10 minutes on low heat
When ready to eat add red wine, heat, stir, serve over pasta.
2020 Strange Beginnings
Sailing in the face of a virus. Needing another view, we spent five days on the boat. Buffalo and Blue Whale with baby. These were our treats. For the Blue Whale and baby go to: https://youtu.be/rHWGsqsVVIM
