This morning via Facebook I received a message from a dear friend of ours asking "so what are your plans for this year?". Needless to say that got me thinking, not that I wasn't thinking before, but it really made me stop and think to myself, yes the new year has begun and it's time to begin our final preparations for departure. So in answer to our friends question the answer (at least at this moment) is this. Our lease on our apartment is up in July and our goal is to be completely living on board by July 1st (or before). We will begin our cruise across Lake Erie (yes first mate will be making this part of the voyage even though seasickness is a real possibility) enter the Erie Canal and spend a couple of months enjoying the canal and then start our journey down the Inter Coastal Water (ICW) no later than October.
"How long will it take?" We have no answer for that. We will cruise until it isn't fun any more. As many of our friends and family know we have looked into many different locations as to where we will eventually end up. Right now we are most intrigued by the coastal area of North Carolina around New Bern. We have not made any firm decisions on that, at this point we just want to cruise and eventually will decide where to land.
So with all this said be on the look out for some upcoming posts covering...
- How do you afford this, you must be rich.
- What to do with this stuff.
- How may dingy's do you need?
- Leaving family and friends.
- Luxuries we take for granted.
One of my (first mate) goals for 2015 is to be more diligent about posting on this blog in hopes that it might help others on their journey.
Remember we'd love to hear from you so leave a note on this site.
Blessings to one and all!
