Bon Voyage to the Carolyn B

Today we bid farewell to the Duffy 26, our lovely boat from Maine. We did enjoy many days out on Lake Memphremagog and even a few nights. We still have a salmon from our fishing trips in Canada last fall, better eat that one. I have never had a boat named after me until now. She will become someone else's wife, mother, sister, daughter or girlfriend in the years ahead. She will be in Brooklin, Maine at the Atlantic Boat Company,  www.atlanticboat.com until she belongs to someone else. The decision was not hard to make. There are so many lakes in Vermont, and so many fish to catch in them that a boat on a trailer made more sense, not staying in one lake even though it is beautiful. We made some friends at the Yacht Club in Newport and had some great meals on the boat, watched great sunsets, fireworks and shooting stars from her, as well. She always turned heads when we went out, people asked about her, took pictures of her and just admired the classic downeast look of her. We have fond memories of this boat and I may never have a boat named after me again. Farewell.
