We passed the lighthouse on our way south.  The paint and roof repair work seems to be holding up.  It was nice to be in familiar territory for a few days.  I took a trip by car to Long Island and left it there and enjoyed a full day of mass transit, trains, buses and boats, back to the boat.  Tim and the cats survived the gale in Onset.  Once again we were offered a car to borrow.    I had a great time visiting family.

Back to the boat and some serious knitting.  I’m finishing a cushion cover and have worked on various odds and ends.  Next I plan to knit a shawl from my handspun shetland.  Then I have lots of project planning.  I have to figure out what to take to the Hot Springs.  I think I may only bring my drop spindle – what’s the harm in taking forever to spin up some yarn when I could be snowed in for a few months??
