With what is described as a "bomb cyclone" approaching the east coast and the cold temperatures that will persist afterwards, I've delayed my departure for the winter trip by a week. When will I go? Not this week for sure, there are forecasts for a couple nights at or below 30 degrees. I don't have the gear for that. So it should be sometime the following week. It just depends on tides and the temperatures.
I've updated the SPOT track with the new date range. The tracking URL is the same as I posted a few days ago.

Joshua Colvin, who ran the Duckworks small boat supply store and also published Small Craft Advisor magazine, emailed me about a week ago. He is publishing Substack version of Small Craft Advisor. Josh asked me if I would fill out a questionnaire for their new column called "Seasoned Sailor." I don't consider myself "seasoned," but with SPARTINA almost 20 years old and a lot of cruising on her, maybe I am. So I filled out the questionnaire and Josh was kind enough to publish.
I always liked the magazine Small Craft Advisor as I considered it the new version of Small Boat Journal, a magazine that I read for years in the 80s and 90s. The new Substack has the same feel, interesting stories about small boats and small boat sailors. Links to the Substack Small Craft Advisor and the questionnaire are below. Thank you, Josh, for reaching out to me.

Steve, just look at your sailing tracks over the years, the locations you've sailed and the stories you've told. "Seasoned" is an excellent word to describe your experiences...and all this in a boat you and your daughters built (if my memory serves correctly). If that is not seasoned, not sure what is. :-)
A friend told me he was going to get me a shirt that said "Old Salt." I said a shirt with just the word "Old" on it would suffice.
