Re-Born

Upon getting home from Canal Boat Yard it seemed fitting and symbolic to re-name Blizzard.  This weekend was full of a lot of change.  Saturday we headed up to Oak Harbor to pick up our old boat Mel from Jilann's brother and hand the boat off to my friend Read as a gift to his father for fishing. This is a transition in our life from one of lake boating to sailing on the Sound.  Not many will understand this but we will miss our powerboat, we know it is going to a good home.

                                    

Emily is very helpful instructing Mom where she needs to place the sticker.

 Sunday was a good day. We headed to South Sound to visit some old friends and celebrate the life of a great community volunteer Jan Visser.  The below Optimist we placed flowers in this in her honor.  Mike you are great son and you put on a great party your mother would be proud of.

I miss you friends from my past and look forward to getting back into the sailing community with my family.

With change and loss also comes the re-birth of old friendships and Blizzard is re-born
