And what a fabulous welcome. As we made our way up Buzzards Bay we could see tiny little people milling around on the Knob (the promontory that forms the northern side of Quissett Harbor!).  As we got closer they got bigger and bigger and we could see they were holding a banner which said "Welcome Home Harmony".  Dickie and I were SO excited and happy to be home, and quite emotional too, and the last few hours took forever. It had been an amazing journey and a real adventure, and to return to a place that is such an significant part of our lives was very special.  

Jim Corbett and Peter, and the Prings were waving and shouting and I was sounding the air horn as we passed them by and we navigated our last harbor of this trip.  We had a minor panic as the GPS had a funny turn just as we enetered the harbor channel, and Quissett is notoriously rocky, but all went OK and we were soon approaching the Quissett Harbor Boat Yard, where we docked perfectly and we were tied up by the time our welcoming committee ran back from the Knob.  There were hugs and kisses and champagne, and much jollity all round.  

it was hard to believe we made it but we did.
