We had a wonderful 2023 season on Star! A few hiccups when we had to come home early due to the hurricane Lee, but we got packed up in time to make the boat and it was a gorgeous day to be on the Thomas Leighton! Also, first time ever we were there for the last day of guests - did you know the Pel tradition is to come running from the Oceanic yelling "you forgot your bags?" and then they toss the bag towards the boat and when it falls in the water, they jump in after it! Must have been close to a dozen pels jumping in and so much fun to watch! Add to that a Mardi Gras parade around the island, ice cream socials, gorgeous sunsets, a beautiful rainbow, a marshmallow roast, AND sewing, quilting, laughing and swimming and it was just another Awesome Star Adventure! Thanks to all who joined in for our adventure and made even the mishaps a small bump in the Star road with their laughter and friendship! We will come back, we will come back, we will come back and hopefully next year - no hurricanes! Special thanks to our friends the Zoller's for the hand dyed (ice dyed fabrics) and our friends at the local quilt shops who provided generous door prizes - Village Quilt Shop in Berwick, Seacoast Sewing and Portsmouth Fabric in Portsmouth, NH. Your support means so much to us and the gifts were fabulous! Thank you, Thank you! Jaci & Jean
