Northward

As of today we've logged 160 days and 1900 miles on this voyage.  We have 61 days and 1500 miles to get to the top of the Hudson where Kathleen and Lacy will head back to retake possession of our house.  Rosie and my itinerary will depend on weather and canal openings.

Leaving Vero Beach tomorrow with fair winds and currents, heading to Cocoa Beach or maybe even Titusville.  The remainder of the trip will be a balance between the warmer weather in the south with a need to get north.  The trick will be to ride the sun north.

I managed to get the alternator back into a very very cramped space and it's working well. Can you find it?



Nine years ago when we did this trip we had Langworthy's, Donnelly's and Kirbachs with us for portions of the trip and other buddy-boats that were traveling in the same direction at the same speed.  For some reason, this has been a much lonelier voyage.  Maybe power boaters are less social.  But we hope to find some companions for the trip north.  Makes it more fun.

Some of you may envy our warm weather but all of you should envy Kathleen's cooking!  How about some chicken pot pie!

Nice meeting you both the other day! What a cool surprise :) we’re keeping our boat at the Conch House Marina. You’re welcome to stop by for a drink if you’d like!
