Junior Marvel saves the day!

A bit of excitement tonight when one of the Navy boats just finishing the Newport-Bermuda race (www.bermudarace.com) tied up to Tenho while we were at anchor so they could dive and cut loose the line fouled around their propeller. Hugo quickly offered up his Junior Marvel snorkeling mask for the operation and the Navy was soon back in action. (Must have been his rescue training from his Coast Guard mom kicking in...)

John, Tessa, Hugo (12) and Maggie (9)

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
