We bought a boat
Ariel is a Bristol 32 yawl. Ryan bought her in July and taught himself to sail from YouTube.
Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts · 41.620° N 70.916° W
In July, Ariel was up on stands at a boatyard in New Bedford. Ryan had never owned a boat. He learned to sail from YouTube videos, then by doing it.
We spent the rest of the summer on her, mostly around Buzzards Bay, with a run over to Martha's Vineyard and out into Nantucket Sound.
In October she came back out of the water.
