Greetings from Cornwall!

So after a sea trial yesterday, we have agreed to go ahead and get the transmission fixed properly while we have a willing and close mechanic!  It did look like there was some transmission fluid spraying out in very fine manner, so we worry that will only lead to more leaking, and then serious trouble further down the way.  We celebrated with dinner in the cockpit, as it was a beautiful evening last night.....ratatouille and red wine, followed by the homemade cookies (previously mentioned!), cherries, and mint tea!

We have been very fortunate with our 'break-down'....both Prescott marina, and now the Cornwall marina have been great places!!  The people have been very friendly and the staff more than helpful and accommodating!  No sign of Ryan Gosling yet, though......

Again, we made good use of our time here and rigged the reefing lines and cleaned all the winches!!!  We are very proud of ourselves, as that particular job (the winches) has been in the job jar for about two years!!!!

A friend sent some photos of us sailing out of Kingston, so I have included those in today's post!
Wyvern III in front of RMC

And the sails are up!!



We are looking forward to spending the Father's Day weekend in Cornwall....planning to borrow the marina's barbeque and will cook up some pork loin steaks, veggies, and a 'cake'!  Happy Father's day to my Dad!!!  And to two of our sons...one who is a Dad, and one who is about to be!!!!  And of course, to all the brothers, brother-in-laws, and friends who are also Dads!!!




And finally, of course, Happy Father's Day to
 'mon capitaine'!!!!
