OUR PLAN

We are writing this blog for one reason and one reason only. To provide a vehicle to make it easier to remain in touch with our family and friends back home.



Our plan is simple. Depart our home port of Goderich, Ontario in the Summer of 2011. Cruise Georgian Bay and the North Channel of Lake Huron while visiting some of the ports and anchorages we have missed over the years. As well as revisiting some of our favourite haunts hopefully with some of our very good friends with whom we have cruised with many times before. All the while adding up the miles and gaining experience with our new trawler. Our first and only self imposed deadline is to be in the Chicago area around Labour Day. South of Chicago, weather and circumstances will guide us!

MARCH 11-15,2012- ALVA (OWL CREEK), FL


Well here we are – up a creek without a paddle, so to speak!  We are travelling up the Caloosahatchee River on our way to Owl Creek Boat Works where final preparations will be made to leave Terrmar on the hard for the summer months.  This is an isolated inland spot, perfect for hurricane protection.  It is definitely a working boat yard without the usual amenities of a full service marina.   We are greeted by one of the alligators who make this creek his home.  Better make sure Smudge stays clear!   It is a pretty spot and very quiet in the evenings, deserted except for one employee who makes his nightly security checks.  Sleep well Terrmar, sweet dreams – see you in the fall!
