The Boat is Ours!

 Final paperwork happened 3/30/22. So, now the plans are for Ben and I to load up a trailer full of boat gear and drive 18 hours straight, if we can, to Burnt Store Florida.

Then we spend a few weeks fixing up the boat, especially deficiencies found in the surveys. Dawn will come out to Florida in a couple weeks. Then she and I will drive my truck back to Texas.

Our plan is to throw a Bon Voyage come and go party Saturday April 23. Then the following week fly to Florida.

After a few more days or week aboard we will cast of east across Florida officially starting the big journey.

New Crew for a week. And rough schedule going forward

Image
Hello from Texas (for a month). The most recent trip included having Dawn's brother Tim on the boat for the third time. This visit he drove from Texas to Charleston SC. I was able to get a free parking spot at one of our group's Harbor Host home. Awesome service. And what an effort Tim! We planned a week with Tim that worked out. Very rare, especially in unpredictable fall weather. The journey included: A couple days at a marina in Charleston SC. Awesome small city with so much history. Trip to Beaufort (pronounced Bewfort) where we anchored and visited a really cute small town. A trip to Savannah. We were able to secure two nights on the city free dock right in the heart of the old downtown waterfront. Then we went to a little tiny town of Sunbury for the famous Sunbury Crab Co restaurant. Yum. Then a long day to another small town and free dock in Darien GA. On that day we saw a couple bald eagles, a couple alligators. Finally we did the last run to our month home in Brunswic...

Annapolis to South Carolina

 Long time posting. We went back to Texas for a week to see family and our attend the wedding of my best and oldest friend's daughter. It was great to be home.  From Pleasure Cove to Georgetown SC we stopped in some cool places: Annapolis was a treat. We toured the Naval Academy. And even went to church in their amazing Chapel, which is quite large and beautiful. The highlight was attending a crazy event called Slaughter on the Water, a tug of war between the towns of Eastport and Annapolis across 1300 feet of creek. Hilarious fun! We did two long but smooth trips south through the Chesapeake Bay stopping halfway in the east side town of Crisfield MD.  The marina manager, a state employee, gave us a tour of the town with some history stories for over an hour. Terrific service. We were there at the very end of their season and the only transient boat at the marina. Love to come back again. Next back to Portsmouth VA where we again stayed at the free boat basin.  We th...
