So the ice is starting to form in the harbour at Hr. Grace.   Come What May is doing just fine in her winter home. 

Just like the wonderful folks interested in her voyage to Newfoundland, Come What May’s hibernation has its spectators apparently! Thanks to Mr. Ed Finn for taking this snap and sending it to the Captain and first mate while they were relaxing in Alabama….. Unsolicited and with a note that read “She’s good.  No ice problem.”

We had posted a small sign with our contact info on it, and this gentleman, the captain of a fine sailing vessel himself, an Island Packet, knew we’d be wondering I guess.  We were so grateful for the check in and as you can see, our little ship is safe and sound still.

The ice breaker is doing its job, and along with the heater, dehumidifier and trouble light placed next to the engine, Come What May has been dry and cozy each time we check.  Still plan a night aboard sometime soon just for the hell of it 😀🎉.

Our adventure this past summer was followed by many it seems and just last night in Toronto, the captain was both honoured with a high achievement award and humoured with speculation on the loss of our crew at Baddeck and the impact a voyage such as ours might have on a relationship.
  

There is no doubt that 3 weeks at sea in cramped quarters can test the boundaries of love.  We talked about it in an earlier blog. ……   Our good friend Miss Beverley joked that while planning for our arrival to SeaEscape’s dock in July, she was unsure whether to plan a party or have two “divorce” lawyers on hand…..  Happy to report that 6 months later, we are safe and sound as well 💕❤️.  

We reminisce fondly of our “maiden” voyage together and can’t wait to explore more of Newfoundland’s beautiful coastline on this side of the island.

So how’s it goin’?

It’s going great -Boat and Capn and Crew 🙂
