And we’re off

[All U Get]

Finally set off for the last sail here on the east coast. Left the York River with falling tide and down to Norfolk to get in line on the ICW. We’re hoping for several days of good weather so we can jump outside around Cape Fear like we always do and make Florida by Thanksgiving. I missed the lecture on this boat about proper anchor stowage, but I’m sure it will be repeated.

Tom, I think he is fishing. Just not sure what for.

Submarines of course....

Tom,

Stay warm and safe! If you run into Krazy Lady, tell her Dave and Susan say hello and we'll see you next year in the Bahamas.

Once again I wish you well, but I think you are setting your sights too close to home. It would be fun to have another 530 to sail with, down here in the Caribbean.
Have a grand trip.

Best wishes to you both. Remember, leaving is optional, returning is mandatory.

Hope you have a great trip. Post progress as you are able along the way. Fair weather to you!

Hey Tom, have an enjoyable trip. Never around here, anchor stowage will return many times over as do lots of other revisited topics, over and over and over....

Ron, I'm told he Coast Guard rule is the opposite when it comes to saving mariners in distress!

She is still on Lake Ontario politicking against flood control that is flooding the lake. A lot of damage this summer.

Fast start but three weather systems coming in the next week. We may have a small window over the weekend but for now T-storms overhead.
