There's a middle way between cruising — sailing all the time — and living at a marina and moving the boat rarely if ever.

This is Island Time. Just launched after several years on the hard. It's a Brewer; a sister ship to the Whitby. She's quite a bit like Red Ranger on the inside. The single mast sets her apart.

We're struggling. It was a beautiful weekend. We did a few piddly little jobs around the boat. Sailing might have been more fun.

The web of connetions: Island Time, Motu, Sojourner, Pandora. Some are headed south for the seasonal migration. Pandora is actually headed north for more refit.

Liquid Therapy has relocated to a different marina. We visited with them and went to the world-famous Donk's Theater in Matthews. A house band and a long list of performers. Everyone got in two songs.

We're looking forward to the Whitby Rendezvous. The last two years, it was the jumping-off point for our Southerly Migration.

This year? A little different.
