The past few days have been spent saying our goodbyes to New England. Friday night was our Farewell Newport Party, Bill's bike was sold and shipped to New Jersey, my bike has been boxed and is stowed on the boat, Big Bird was taken away on the trailer. Now we just have to finish getting the boat ready and we will be ready to sail to Charleston tomorrow. Below are some pictures of last week's test sail. With a bright orange storm jib and a neon pink spinnaker, we paid tribute to Big Bird...
Ces derniers jours nous avons fait nos adieux a la Nouvelle-Angleterre : vendredi nous avons organise une soiree sur le theme "Au revoir Newport", le velo de Bill a ete vendu et expedie dans le New Jersey, mon velo a ete demonte, emballe et stocke a bord, et notre catamaran Big Bird a ete demate et emporte sur sa remorque... Encore quelques derniers preparatifs a faire a bord et nous serons prets a partir pour Charleston demain. Ci-dessous quelques photos de notre sortie en mer la semaine derniere. Avec un tourmentin orange vif et un spinnaker rose fluo, nous avons rendu un dernier hommage a Big Bird...
