BACK TO BOATING

God Bless Sienna Rose!

Last Thursday through Sunday we spent time away from the boat, taking a road trip from Annapolis to Wayne, NJ for the christening of Sienna Rose, our new grand-niece.

Dave, Isabella and Molly flew in from Houston; Susan (the godmother) drove down from Boston and we all converged on the lovely home of new grandparents Trish and Nick Del'Re, where we were welcomed with open arms and bountiful plates of food...as always!

Beautiful baby Sienna Rose was the star of the visit.  We tried not to spoil her too much...but how could we resist!


Izzy & Aunt Trish--Baking & Bantering

So much pleasure is derived from these family visits and stories told of times gone by and yet to come. We are ever so grateful to Trish and Nick for extending such loving care to our family and providing a "home away from home" whenever we return to our NJ roots!

Now we are back to the business of boating.  We departed Annapolis this morning and arrived early afternoon at remote marina in Bear Delaware along the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal.  Tomorrow we plan to cross Delaware Bay over to Cape May, NJ where we will stay for a night or two.

Then we are hoping for calm seas and good weather as we head out into the Atlantic Ocean and up the coast of NJ...perhaps for more visits with family and friends!
