My friend, Lise, joins us in Baddeck, Nova Scotia. I am so happy to see my high school classmate. This year we turn a certain age. Most of the 45 girls who graduated from Winsor in 1970 are meeting in Vermont to celebrate. That was tempting. We are happy that people are gathering.
However, Lise and I are invited - along with our husbands - to sail for two weeks from Louisburg, NS across the Cabot Strait to the island of St. Pierre and then along the coast of south Newfoundland.
Lise and I often dreamed about sailing together aboard "Windigo", a 58 ft Boothbay Challenger. We each have sailed with our friend, the captain, and owner, Sandy, at different times. This invitation seemed too good to pass up, so we chose to celebrate entering a new decade this way!
Jim & I welcome Lise to Baddeck! Here we sit in our house skyping our classmate/foreign student, Leena, who lives in Finland. Jim joins us as we dream about a trip to Finland - maybe next summer!
