Update as at June 9th

Folks -- My dad should arrive Boothbay today or tomorrow (Thursday, June 9th or Friday, June 10th).

Our friend, Paul Lagassey has been providing map updates on the way up the East coast.  You can see them here.  http://svbrowneyedgirl.com/charts/viewHistory.asp

Just to make the last leg more meaningful, the Gods (God?) decided that it should be done solely under wind power, as they have had no transmission since somewhere off Cape Hatteras.  They have therefore alternated over the last week between being a sailboat and a cork.

Here in Boston we have had some amazing thunderstorms overnight, which I presume were a last test for them somewhere between Cape Cod and the Gulf of Maine.  I think his current plan is to get to the mouth of the Sheepscot and sort it out from there ...
