Not since remarrying 23 years ago, curiously, even though we have taken some delightful extended weekends here in New England but not yet beyond.
The closest I’ve come to solo is the week of the annual sessions of New England Yearly Meeting of Friends, held on college campuses in early August. But there, the emphasis has been on doing Quaker business and spiritual renewal together.
Maybe that’s one reason I’m so excited by my upcoming windjammer adventure, whatever the weather.
Better yet, it’s following on one of our family weekends away, the Common Ground Fair in Unity, Maine. Even if I expect to be spending part of that manning the Quaker booth there.
And better yet, I’ll be with a dear friend of my retirement years – somebody who grew up on the waters, unlike me.
So what’s your idea of a “vacation” Even in a shoulder season, where we are now?
