MELODEON

With a crew of 3, Frank, Chris and Ginger Bear, MELODEON left Fraser Park Marina in Trenton, Ontario, Canada in 2009. Like many aquatic snowbirds heading south, MELODEON voyaged through the Erie Canal, the Hudson River, the Atlantic ocean and the Intercoastal Waterway until reaching sunnier shores in Florida and the Bahamas . 2011-12 is MELODEON's third cruising season, with the last two trips spent lingering in the sparkling waters and peaceful havens of Grand Bahama Island.... full info

Retirement
Your last sentence about designing retirement careers is interesting. I am working on a theme of "Reflective Retirement" that gives us creative things to do in those years.I have been watching the weather and Newfoundland gets hit today. I know they are having heavy rain and seas in NS too. This too shall come to pass... your getting close! Cheers, Mike

Stay Put
C, F and G : We've been watching the bad weather hitting the maritimes and wondering if you are in a safe mooring. The Newfies are are getting hit today by the storm. Lots of flooding in NS as well. Take it easy don't be in a rush to return. Wait for the calm. Be safe. Check your pumps. Practice your bailing skills. G

Larry's Lobsterboat: Rockport/dawn delivery.
My daughter and I stayed at the Captain's Bounty in Rockport over the Labor Day weekend. I chase the gorgeous sunrises of Rockport from our balcony and had been on the balcony as Larry came in to the bay. I watched, and photographed, as he pulled alongside the Melodean then continued to photograph as he pulled away and began checking his traps. The Melodean had captivated me from the moment we saw her anchored early in the weekend. I turned my camera on her frequently in an attempt to see if I could determine anything about her. Finding this blog is an absolute delight! Thank you for sharing about this awesome vessel!
