8/5/11 Hardy Island to Lund, and goodbye to Bill and Banning

It is 28 miles from Musket Island Marine Park to Lund, and we motored the whole way as the wind was light and on the nose. Lund is a funny place, so small and touristy, but it has a distinct utility and cannot be avoided at all times. The marina is tight and you usually need to raft during the summer, and so we did.

In Lund after a week of amazing sailing

This trip with Bill and Banning was absolutely wonderful. Bill is a true sailor whose knowledge and happiness afloat makes for great company, and Banning is a typical bright 10 year old who played well with both of my boys. I think the trip meant a lot to them too and whetted his appetite for more exploring up in these northern waters.

Both of our wives were driving up from Bainbridge today to meet us in Lund. So soon enough, the boys were joined by the girls and we told many stories over a nice dinner at the Lund Hotel. It meant so much to Bill and I to hear the boys excitedly relate their adventures to the moms. What a lucky group of kids, and two very lucky dads.
