I thought I'd gamble on the traditional good weather of September, and saddle up the Sportster for a loop up NY State, across New Hampshire and Vermont, thence to Maine, down the coast to the Cape, then down to Fishers Island, and home.

Work is slow, and this tough year has almost run it's course, so gawd DAM, it's time for a roadtrip to cure what ails me ;) I figure I have about 10 days or less, which should be plenty to stay on the back roads and stop every time I see a photograph...

My northernmost stop is Northport in Maine, but I hope to sail with Coose, and Bauer, and meet up with as many of you as weather and wind permit...Not to mention the day job;) I'll be in Northport from Tuesday to Thursday 9/23-25...

I'd love to see my imaginary friends, get a little sailing in, and ask for all the free advice I can get. I'm calling it the 'Guru Tour', visiting all my smart friends, and some just plain clever ones as well :D

I'll have a tent and sleeping bag, a change of clothes, and a hell of a good attitude :cool:

See you in September

Sounds like a great trip Phil. Fair winds and cheap gas.

How about a group get together at S. Bristol? The 25th is a Thursday.
Phil, I'll at least figure to arrive S. Bristol Thursday after work. If you make it we'll sail Friday AM. Of all locations in Maine, you don't want to be missing this one. It is 1:15 hours East of Portland. 1:30 hours from Northport

As I said in the other thread, you'll have to make compensation for me as I'm neither smart or clever.

I'm in for whatever and I PM'd all my contact information. You're always welcome here.

I'm so excited to wander the blue highways, and meet up with my WBF buddies...

Do me a favor and PM me with contact(cel#'s/email)info so I can navigate as I go...

You're welcome to use my guest bed while you're visiting the Cape, as long as you can deal with 2 cats. Just let me know when.

Maybe we can organize Ian to go out on Marmalade, too.

Of course, Brian, we'll be sending in dispatches from the front;)
