Hello M38 gang, Pilgrim and I are still in Beaufort. The focus of my "refit" energies has changed from Pilgrim to personal. My marriage of 15 years has dissolved over the past 12 months. Pilgrim, her refit, and future travels were a shared dream. It has been very difficult for me to engage with Pilgrim as the thoughts of dashed dreams surge within me when I step aboard. My eyes are tearing up even typing these thoughts. By the end of summer I expect to solely own Pilgrim. I am spending most of the summer traveling for work (as a bicycle tour guide for
Carolina Tailwinds Tours and an whitewater instructor for
NC Outward Bound School) I truly hope that when I return from the summer travels I can find a fresh breeze to reinvigorate my passion for Pilgrim's progress. Anyone interested in my travels and adventures outside of M38's can follow along via
