Where is aCappella?

When we created this blog it was "The cruising adventures of Karen, Jeff, and Tucker aboard M/V aCappella." Sadly, that has unexpectedly ended. This will be the final posting.

We've heard it said that there are just "dog people" and "not dog people." We assuredly are of the first group. Tucker was our family and our life.

We know when a dog finds us that we are striking a bargain. They will love us totally and unconditionally. We will bask in that love and see them through their old age. We know when we do it, that day of pain will surely come but we do it anyway because the reward is so very great. We were cheated in our bargain. Our pain came too early.

In the life of every "dog person" there will come one dog that will touch them in a most profound way. We believe that Tucker was that dog for us. He was the most affectionate and loving creature that we have ever encountered.

In our head we know that we will be happy again and will let that next love find us. But our hearts and souls can't believe it right now. Thank you for the many emails, comments and thoughts we have received. Your love has helped.

For us, we are not continuing on to the Bahamas. We doubt that we can manage to bring the boat home to Maine. In fact, we're not sure we can even keep this boat any longer as much as we love her so. "Dog people" may possibly understand this.

We'll close with pictures celebrating our puppy. Rest in peace, Tucker. We will never, ever let you out of our hearts.
