Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal.

Another season has come and gone...
I've been following you are awhile so am used to it. I look forward to your return to Europe and your next voyage. Will it be the canals of France down to the Mediterranean, as you've done western and northern Europe?

this season's plan
Bob - you guessed correctly - the plan is to go down the French canals to the Med. We will then do some exploring on the western coast of Italy and over-winter half way between Rome & Naples. Sorry my postings for Paris have been so late in coming, but guess "better late than never" - will be heading back to the boat in Paris the beginning of April - best wishes to you and thanks again for following along!
