Adieu, Guidance!

We are driving back to Minnesota from Rhode Island in a rental van with all our gear. We’ve moved off of Guidance and put her on the market in Newport, RI. Guidance was a great boat for us, and we think she’ll serve her next owners well.

Our next boat will be a catamaran. All boats are a series of compromises; catamarans are no exception. However, catamarans offer more space for storage, living, and guests. They are also more comfortable at anchor.

Some highlights from our trip in no particular order:

  • Friendly, generous people at each of our stops
  • Sailing through the night
  • The Gaspé Peninsula
  • Dolphins!
  • Quiet anchorages
  • Seeing the industry on the Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence River

Thank you for reading and following along on our journey.
