Waiting! Waiting! Waiting! etc . . . . . . .

SHIP'S LOG:

     ABISHAG has been sitting patiently at "C" Dock at Yankee Boatyard in Portland all set and ready to go. Unfortunately, it isn't anything wrong with her that is hold the departure back, it is what is wrong with my bank account, too few Marine Units.  Actually, I have almost all of it and hopefully will have it all by the end of the week. Then it will be clear sailing if:

     a.) there is not a lot of flotsam & jetsam washing down the Connecticut River after the deluge of             the past week;
     b.) if the Lyme Railroad Bridge is functioning normally;
     c.) if the wind moderates just a tad;
     d.) if the storms are over for awhile.

     If it all works out, I should be at TYC by the weekend but I have learned never to make "firm" plans more than 24 - 48 hours in advance as things have a way of changing and sometimes just don't work out as you want. Ask George Armstrong Custer about plans.
