Every two years, the Nonsuch Organization holds a rendevous with owners and their boats somewhere in North America.

The 2004 event would be in Boston. Nearby, so we decided to sign on. We've read about these gatherings for years and thought it would be a great way to see other boats like our's.

Many plans over the winter months ensued with commissioning, maintenance, and equipment lists noted on the Pilot. From launch in April to just before the departure, we slowly checked off items.

Captain Tom decided he'd like to have another experienced sailor on board. Our brother-in-law, Tim, has been signed on for the voyage. He served in the Coast Guard and has many years under his belt sailing.

Although over 300 photos were taken during the cruise, we have shared but a few with you.
