Serenity 2008 July trip
July 25-August 3, 2008 -- put in at DanversPort, Mass, hauled out at Odiorne State Park boat ramp, off of Little Harbor, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Farthest north point: Kittery, Maine. Biggest lesson: save those long runs up the coast for days when the wind is actually going to blow!
Crew: Maria, Sandy, Michele
Shore support: Suzanne, Carman, Kate, Theo
