Brown Family Vacation 2012
We arrived home this week from a great adventure full of lifetime memories! Darlene, Austin and I traveled to Boston, rented a Suburban and drove 5 hours up the east coast through Massachusetts, New Hampshire and up Highway 1 through Maine to Mt. Desert Island Maine.
Approximately 12 years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Rich and Barb Dickson on a 10' Avon dinghy at Chicago Yacht Club. We were riding out to the sailing vessel Astra to meet our mutual friend Mike Mayer. While Rich and I had not met we became fast friends as watch partners on the Chicago Mackinac Yacht Race. A few years later we spent a few weeks sailing the Mediterranean and Adriatic Seas on Richs cruising sailboat Chimera. After Darlene and I married in 2004 we visited with Rich and Barb in Chicago and became better friends at the 2006 Verve Cup Yacht Race.
A few years back Rich and Barb purchased some land on Mt Desert Island in Northern Maine and built their amazing retirement home Broad Reach. Below is a narrative and pix of our first of what we hope to be many visits to see Rich and Barb at Broad Reach on Somes Sound Maine!
I hope you enjoy!
