What We've Been Up To

We’re back to cruising the east coast of the US for a while. We’ll be spending the spring and summer on the Chesapeake Bay.

We now cruise with TWO miniature longhaired dachshunds. Lucky for us, our newest pup Gretchen always watches Rudy for cues as to how she should react to any given situation. Since Rudy is a seasoned trans-Atlantic sailor, he was pretty blase’ about being back aboard. Gretchen showed no reaction at all when we started the engine and the generator and seemed completely at ease running around the cabin. We did wonder how we would get off the boat with two dogs if only one of us was going ashore.


	We solved this problem by buying a little pooch pouch for Gretchen. As you can see in the photo above, she’s happy as a Koala bear hanging around Suzanne’s neck. On the right you can see Suzanne stepping off the boat with both dogs at once. Worked like a charm!

So whats next for Liberty’s crew? Next summer (2009) we’ll head north to Maine, Nova Scotia, and possibly on to Newfoundland. Our plans may be curtailed as Suzanne has been put on notice by her new publisher, Hay House, that she may be doing a book tour for her new book, The Priest and the Medium, right at the height of the summer sailing season. It’s a worthy cause, however, as the more books Suzanne sells, the more boat gear we can buy!

Our long-range plan inludes a return to Europe across the Atlantic, but this time we’ll head farther north. We hope to spend 4-5 years cruising Norway, Sweden, Great Britain, and the Baltic Sea as far as St. Petersburg, Russia in the summers, with golf at our new home in Florida in the winters and a good dose of family time.

Lots of fun adventures to think about!
