Bon Voyage, ROSIE!

We just sold Rosie, our beautiful Grady-White. We had her for 12 years. She is being trailered right now up to Massachusetts. Different water! We have this small quilt on our mantel, with a candle to burn in front of it.
This is the little quilt that started the project. Early in the morning I looked out the west window & saw this beautiful pecan tree hiding the moon. I decided to capture a treasured moment each day in November.
At nearly 10 p.m. a transformer blew, shocking us all with sudden brilliance, then dark. We were in the Lazy Flamingo restaurant on Sanibel.

Rosie is going to miss you both.
Thank goodness you have these wonderful quilt portraits. They are remarkable. A wonderful series, unique art.
Brava, Ms. Turner.

Thanks, Lesley!
We are lucky to have a smaller boat now, named Seventeen (a Mako 17) after a friend who loved that number. Rosie was happier in deep water.
