Leaving Cleveland with Good Memories

Arrived into Mentor Harbor Yacht club Sunday evening a week ago. Planned layover to have Tartan fix the lingering issues and to visit with my old Sticky and money friends.
After a slow start, Tartan came through with the coordination of Art Averall and the very competent work of one Tim Young from the factory. Now the engine works without the alarm going off  EVERY time we docked or anchored; the boom and mainsail actually go out by themselves; the anchor locker no longer takes on water while sailing taxing the bilge pump; the mainsail goes up and down the mast and the companion way hatch opens without the necessity of any body slams and other miscellaneous items are all working. Had the opportunity to meet and speak with both the old and new owners and management of Tartan to get perspective and insight on Happy Destiny.
All said we are happy with the current state of sailing fitness of HD. Thanks to all who helped.
While waiting for Tartan to show up we rented a car, had backs cracked at the old back cracker in Hudson Ohio, made a major provisioning run at Costco and had an MRI on the  Captain's sore arm.

• We had a wonderful last day with visits from the Zolans, Peruzzis, Crookstons and Rains. After a picnic lunch land side by HD, the Tartan folks finished their work and we all went for an afternoon sail leaving Marty to guard the beer.

With pleasant memories of the Cleveland area HD is on its' way to the Welland Canal which connects Lakes Erie and Ontario and then to the Oswego & Erie Canals to the Hudson River.
And just while writing this we received a picture of our newest crew member to be: baby Stuyck.
All is good and we are blessed.
