5/26 Left Westport arrived Shelburne Vermont 3 hrs.

The busiest time of boating season and a transient needs a part. Van at Shelburne was very helpful and had our part shipped overnight. While sitting watching sunset we met Vic and Ann Ratsus, trying to take their boat our for the evening. Battery problems. They offered to take us to the grocery and liquor store. We really appreciated the shopping and ride back. Along the way we took a brief tour of Shelburne Farms. This Vanderbuilt estate is a National Historic Landmark. Beautiful grounds.

The repair staff fixed the dinghy motor as well as the waterloop problem within 24 hrs. Now headed on our long 5 mile trip to Burlington.

Incredible pictures - really beautiful. By the time you get back to Florida your boat might be completely rebuilt! Looks like you have met a group of really nice people.....Keep 'em coming!
