Steve Blecher sold Javelin to Eric & Stephanie Grubman in the spring of 2024 and her new home port is Milford, CT. She has retained her name and green colors and the Grubmans are carrying on her rich history of down east cruises in summer. Their end-point destination this year is Belfast, on Penobscot Bay. Steve and the traditional Javelin crew are driving two cars to Belfast so the Grubmans can drive them back to Connecticut.
Steve (Dartmouth '64) boat ex-Javelin, ex-home port Westbrook, CT
Paul Wharton (Duke '64), home port Stamford, CT
Michael Luskin (Harvard '73) boat Turtleheart, home port Mamaroneck, NY
Rick Tonge, boat Juliet, (plus foiling Moth and two 210s!) home port Belgrade, ME
Maybe it's a new tradition, a return delivery trip for the Grubmans so thay can maximize their time down east. And the Javelin crew gets a cruise to see familiar ports and friends while getting Javelin back to Milford, CT. You can see The Plan in the Trip Log below, including seeing the Padauanos at Bucks Harbor, the Klingers at Wentworth, Jay & Hasty Evans at Sandwich, and the Grubmans at NYYC's Harbour Court in Newport before the final push back to Milford.
Here's the The Plan, including meals, but you'll just have to read on to see what happened when the wind hit The Plan!
Pictures by TBD.
The table below is the Trip Log, summarizing the planned, and eventually actual, daily runs. The date field is a link to that day's log. Elasped time is generally time under way and has sometimes been adjusted for lunch stops. Cells with a darker background color represent changes from the original Plan.
