Leaving the Lake




I know, I know, I haven't updated the blog since we got close to home. Well the summer has passed, the leaves are changing, and it's time to head south. As for what we've been up to all summer.... we've been busy.

Most of you have come down to visit, which was fantastic. We spent a lot of time in Mallet's bay chasing the now famous "Mallet Mullet". I wonder if the game warden ever figured out what kind of duck he was? Of course we spend some in another shipyard getting fixed ... again. But all in all a wonderful summer.

Our voyage South has begun. Ambition, my dad's boat, is keeping us company. My dad and his crew Paul-Andre and Therese, are all equally excited to head south. We have also picked up another crew member, Daniel. (he also has a blog going www.danbucketlist.blogspot.com) Another helping hand is always welcome aboard.

We have finally left Burlington today. We expect to get de-mast, aka get the stick taken down, tomorrow. From there we pretty much back track exactly where we just came from. Ambition will take a short break in Annapolis, until all the hurricanes pass before heading to the Bahamas. We will lose our crew, Dan, in Annapolis. Apparently some people have jobs to get back to. We'll give Cindy a hand at the Annapolis boat show in the beginning of October.

Besides that we'll head down to the Solomons to visit Scotty, go to Deltaville to see Ainsley and Costas, and visit some places we missed on the way up. In other words kill time until the hurricanes stop.

Don't worry I'll keep the blog going from now on. Don't forget to leave us comments.

Lots of love
Roxanne and Josh

Hi Guys I checked your blog over the rest of the summer but did not know whether you actually made it but I see you did! Just kidding I was sure you made it. Sounds like you had a nice summer. I am sure I will see you when you return to Deltaville. Hope you have a safe trip.
