Where to begin an adventure is always the hardest part. Finding your way home is infinitely faster and easier because you've traveled this way before.
Today my father and I finally set sail - leaving Thames Yacht Club a little later than we had anticipated; however, the point is that we finally left. I have been increasingly anxious to begin this journey without realizing what leaving home really meant. Home is a stability, security, and simplicity that cannot be easily replaced by say a 33 foot piece of fiberglass. As we surfed down the swells off of Bartlett's Reef this afternoon I knew this boat might never meet the security requirements. However, in time and with a lot of tough love this old Tartan might be able to make the transformation.
What we ate: homemade RI clam chowder & peppermint tea
