A Ship in the Harbor is Safe...

MAIA at her slip at Deltaville Yachting Center
"A ship in the harbor is safe, but that's not why ships are built" (ahhh, the wisdom of a fortune cookie)!

Well... Dave and I have retired from our day jobs. We sold the house and sold the truck. Our family is helping us by giving us a place to stay when not on the boat, a place to store stuff, by maintaining our car and getting our mail. What would we do without family?

Our Great Loop adventure on MAIA, a Grand Banks 42 trawler, will begin next Monday, May 14. We'll leave our safe harbor in Deltaville VA and head up the Chesapeake Bay.

We will miss our family and friends, but look forward to keeping in touch thru this blog, phone, e-mail, Skype and WhatsApp (and even in person as guests on MAIA and during visits home)!

More soon, take care!
