Our Travels

More importantly the SaltyMare is “decked out” for this year’s Triple Crown! Alright, alright, we live on a boat, so “decked out” may be a stretch due to the limited storage space allotted to trinkets, but given our history and living on a boat affectionately known as “the Mare,” you know we’re going to celebrate the season!

Okay, this is funny. The gooey-looking stuff under each decorative item is Museum Putty. We use it to prevent stuff from being tossed about as we cruise. Umm, Susie, we’re stuck at a marina. So.
Think of it as “Optimism Putty!” After all, we will get to move e-v-e-n-t-u-a-l-l-y…

Given last year’s Derby Day ordeal, – what, you don’t remember? It’s most certainly a day we’ll never forget. The events are captured on the posts, Derby Day 2021! and Nightmare.

At any rate, as we were saying, given last year’s Derby Day ordeal, we are very much looking forward to a calm day this year, except for the two minutes of racing, of course. Given our luck of late, however, we’ve covered the boat with prayers and will keep our fingers crossed (and toes for good measure) that all goes, well, without a hitch. Just to be sure, though, Susie will NOT ask to go for a dinghy ride. In fact, she says we cannot even get the dinghy down until Sunday. 🙂
