Tugnacious #7 Poised to Cruise



Just heard from Robert and Maye Bachofen, of S Burlington, VT. They keep their tug on Lake Champlain. He writes to the Seymours on Sally W #42 in Maine:

Currently we're in the middle of selling our business (Cheese Traders) hopefully the transaction takes place at the end of July. Subsequently there will be a few weeks of handover and training of the new owners, and then we'll be home-free! It all sounds still too good to be true, and of course there are plenty of caveats to navigate until a deal is done.

Our plans include sailing the Great Loop - not quite sure if we still can get a head-start this fall to the Great Lakes and leave Tugnacious in that region over the winter. Another option would be heading south along the ICW towards North Carolina where my brother lives - but I'm worried that we will sail directly into the Hurricane season.... If the sale drags on for some reason we still plan to return to Montreal like last year, and visit NYC and then re-group for next year. So one thing at a time...

This spring we were busy with upgrades and maintenance - as you know a never-ending task; but I have to say that she looks terrific!

Maye and I hope that you enjoy your time in Maine - this is yet another cruising area that on our bucket list.
