Boaters like to joke that our plans are written in the sand at low tide. We have embraced this idea.
I posted earlier that we had "planned" on visiting the Chesapeake this summer....well, plans have changed! After our Bahamas trip and some time off for maintenance and rehab we've decided to scale it back this year.
One of the areas we had hoped to explore either on the way up or back is the St. Johns river in Florida. We've decided there isn't enough time left to see everything we had hoped to see this summer and be back in Ft. Myers by October 1. We are now on the Ortega River just outside Jacksonville and, starting tomorrow, will be heading up (south!?) the St. Johns. The "plan" is to do some sightseeing and then find a nice hurricane hole marina to leave the boat for a couple of months while we return to the house. We'll return in early September and start the trip back to Ft. Myers....at least that's the "plan".
Tune in next month and I'll recap our trip and let you all know what our "plans" are next.

ReplyDeleteWhile I am often quoted as saying "the worst thing to have on a boat is a plan," this is a smart plan. I checked and the Chesapeake should be there for at least the next few years. Plus you'll need to save up your energy for the time we'll be having in Key West in a matter of months. Cheers to you both!
