The Mayflower II is passing the Sagamore Bridge on Cape Cod. You may remember that I can trace my lineage back to the Mayflower I.
Of course, these are really beautiful in the fog, but I especially like this one because it shows how small the Mayflower is. Not much bigger than a tugboat. There were 102 passengers and a 30-man crew. Just think about that when you are feeling a little crowded.
I'm keeping this short so I can go lie down. I'm pretty much well, but don't have full stamina back yet. Any strong smell is still making me feel ill. Tomorrow is going to be a long day with an event in Cadillac. I have to leave here at 7:30 in the morning.
I edited, I wrote, I dealt with a flat tire, I went to the store, I got ready for tomorrow. I think I'm pretty much done for today.

What an amazing looking ship that is. I can't imagine fitting that many people on board though. No chance for alone time there.
How many generations back to the Mayflower?
Ann- that's for sure!
Stew- I think 12. There is one that Find-a-grave disagrees with my records. I need to get into the DAR genealogy site.
Charlee: "Boats sure have gotten bigger since then!"
Chaplin: "Our Dada can't even imagine sailing on a ship like that. He would've spent the entire time throwing up over the railing."
Oona: "Oona would've spent the entire time at the highest point of the mast!"
