Lynne left the boat

Lynne left yesterday.

It is with sadness that I must inform you, Lynne is no longer on Prodigal.  Due to an Act of God, the engine problems suffered and the time it took to fix it have changed the plans. We had to eliminate her position as crew.  It’s so late in the season now after the boat repairs that a trip south to Grenada is no longer feasible.  Plus the cost of the repairs having taken a fourth of my yearly cruising budget has forced me to reduce expenses, thereby forcing layoffs in the crew…   Lynne will be missed and we all wish her well on her next adventure.

I had several people today ask “where is your wife?”  It’s going to take awhile for life to get back to normal.  (whatever normal is on a boat)
