I'll look forward to the next chapter...<br /><br />Ah, good-bye and fare you well now, ship and sailor:<br />Ah, good-bye, for never harbour more shall hail her:<br />Ask the unsleeping drift if still it lifts her westing,<br />Or the Tuscarora Deeps if there she's resting.<br /><br />Ask the lonely dawn that, scarlet, silent, splendid,<br />Looked across the world and found the fight was ended.<br />Ask the wind and wave that bruised and broke and shook her . . .<br />And the sea's great silence at the last that took her. <br /><br />Paraphrased from 'The Lost Ship' by Cicely Fox SmithJDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515660714026826863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-36793095402713338072011-11-01T12:20:44.979-04:002011-11-01T12:20:44.979-04:00Hi Maryanne - I was a blog faithful for a long tim...Hi Maryanne - I was a blog faithful for a long time at the start of your journey, but confess I had fallen by the wayside for a long time. Something drew me to check in today, and my jaw dropped when I read the first sentence "So, Footprint is lost and Kyle and I set off on another chapter in our lives.". Ahhh!! I frantically read through the story of this month for you. I'm so sorry about the boat, but so happy that you are both well and seem to be taking this totally in stride. I know it is just a boat, but it is what you called "home", and I'm sure that is a terrible loss for you both.<br /><br />You've both spent countless hours sharing your story with us, and it has been amazing. I hope you won't stop just yet! By the way, you mention a job and a new home, but I don't believe I caught the "where"... it wouldn't be Norfolk again, would it?<br /><br />Best wishes on the start of your next journey...<br /><br />SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14042046673941359831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-82620681616479481332011-10-31T09:53:17.581-04:002011-10-31T09:53:17.581-04:00Footprint did, indeed, take you and Kyle to lots o...Footprint did, indeed, take you and Kyle to lots of wonderful places with lots of wonderful people and memorable experiences. And she allowed us to share in your travels as well. I hope the next chapter of your lives will be just as full of fun, excitement and sea-faring adventures, though hopefully not as dramatic as this last one. ;-) <br /><br />Have a safe trip back to the U.S. and best of luck in the job hunt.<br /><br />Take care, keep in touch and happy trails!Karennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-66247673831140886222011-10-30T15:17:07.811-04:002011-10-30T15:17:07.811-04:00Maryanne & Kyle, a very sad story and sight.

Have masses of respect for you for what you achieved and how you dealt with it all right to the end + experiencing the driving in Naples...way to go!Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07250059928324912188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-88172526805392682822011-10-28T22:42:13.381-04:002011-10-28T22:42:13.381-04:00Following your recent experience has been heart br...Following your recent experience has been heart breaking. But I take confidence in knowing that anyone who embarks on such a journey has to also be pretty flexible. Please don't let it extinguish your dream completely. And maybe we'll see you at Thanksgiving!Chris Bonney 2https://www.blogger.com/profile/11217899331763560117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36756953.post-2800003498056997912011-10-28T18:56:54.158-04:002011-10-28T18:56:54.158-04:00I'm sorry to hear about your loss.
