Jerry's summer project - sweet ride.

Karen's summer project - a Pakk Pack for our mainsail constructed in Brian and Deb's backyard.

Ron (from Scheherezade), Jerry and Kurd working on our teak deck.

Clayton Antique Boat Museum Flea Market - my seaglass booth with Deb waiting for customers.

Kurd comes close to inspect the lens when I take his picture.

17 years old is pretty old for a cat.  He works for a bit and then needs a cat nap.

It’s that time of  year again.  We have the boat packed up and ready to go tomorrow, Tuesday.  Our summer cat, Kurd, who lives at Bill and Laurie’s house for the winter, has been pleading with his eyes for us to stay.  But the locks close on the 11th of October this year.  Persephone must start the trek through the Erie Canal.  Sorry Kurd.

This link is also in the top right hand corner on the persephonesail.blogspot.com web page.  I will try to update the page each month.  Our plan for this winter is to go to the Bahamas.  The internet “cafes” are not plentiful and we are still in the dark ages with our flip phone but I will still try to keep in touch.  We have a load of tools and supplies onboard to finish a number of projects.  And a box of apples for pie making, of course, from our friend Gary down the road.  Best wishes and please write.
