Change of Plans

In March of 2010 things suddently changed for Astraea and me.  I had planned to remain retired, but a great job offer suddenly came and my plans were changed.  As of March 22, 2010, I  began a great new job in Northern Virginia just outside Washington, DC.  On April 2, I contracted with J.Daniel Marine Co to transport Astraea across 3,000 miles of the United States, by land, to her new home in Annapolis, Maryland. 

This is a major change and one that was not expected, however I am looking forward to having Astraea in Annapolis where I first began to sail at the Naval Academy many years ago as a midshipman.  Astraea and I will now enjoy the waters of the Chesapeake. 

Watch this blog for photos of Astraea as she is hauled, prepared to transport, trucked across the country, and recommissioned in Annapolis, Maryland.
