This Blog will now change focus’. for the past six or seven years I have documented the progress of the refit of Eleanor Tarr. Now join us as we periodically update this site with our voyages and adventures as a family.

Our first family sail aboard Eleanor Tarr was both a beautiful fast sail… and then a squally rainy romp, with clear skies returning as we entered Cobourg harbour.

Here we laid at anchor for the next couple weeks, getting used to life aboard and getting systems sorted out. Flushing toilet, hot stove, running water, reverse, VHF radio. Close to our homeport friends and family were able to come by from time to time.

Our dear friends and family joined us for a send off hurrah, with potluck meal and fun on the beach. I never stopped to take a picture, I don’t know that anyone else did either, which is just fine.
