Meet Sean…. We call him "Mongo"........... Just Kidding ;)
Sean is making the trip north with us and we are thrilled to
have him as crew! Complete disclosure: this will be the longest offshore passage J
and I have made. On our honeymoon we did just over 30hrs offshore and went out
maybe 15 miles. This time we anticipate
anywhere from 3-5 days offshore and we’ll be out approx. 100 miles. So, while
we are capable of doing it ourselves, it will be very nice to have a third set
of hands aboard (read 6hr blocks of sleep as opposed to three – sweet!)
We’ve known Sean now for almost 5yrs, he is a fellow sailor,
was the best man in our wedding and he and J are tied at the hip and he is a
teacher so he’s off for the summer. For
these reasons, it only made sense for him to tag along.
He’ll be with us as we make our way north and
then stick around for a while sailing in and around Maine and up into Canada. Hopefully on the weekends I’ll get to go out
and join them as well - someone has to work!
