Welcome

This blog is to catalog our trip from New Bern, North Carolina, to Boston to bring "Dalliance", a Senator 35 Trawler, to the Metropolitan Yacht Club in Braintree, MA.

The crew will be Jeff Gardiner (Owner/Licensed Captain), Rich Terry (USPS Senior Navigator and Sailing friend), and Jeff Jackel (a Medical Doctor/Licensed Captain/Experienced Sailor and good friend).

We are planning to drive a one-way Enterprise Rental Car to New Bern on Saturday, July 30; provision the boat on Sunday and to set sail from New Bern on Monday, August 1.

We are planning the trip to take about 10 days for the journey from New Bern to Boston via the Pamlico Sound; Alligator River Canal; Albemarle Sound; the Great Dismal Swamp Canal; Chesapeake Bay; Chesapeake-Delaware River Canal; stop in Lewes, Delaware to visit my brother-in-law; up the Jersey Shore; New York Harbor; Long Island Sound; Buzzard's Bay; Cape Cod Canal; and, Massachusetts Bay to Boston Harbor.

We will be letting you know via this blog our progress and how we are doing with the trip.
