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!

OCTOBER 1-8,2012- FORT MYERS BEACH, FL



Ok, time for a change of scenery, so hello Salty Sam’s Marina at Fort Myers Beach, Fl., located between the  entrance to Caloosahatchee River and Sanibel Island.  Normally a very busy place, but we are off season, so quieter than usual.  Fortunately we came prepared and well stocked with food etc.   Grocery store was not within walking or biking, but 2 restaurants located on site helped make our stay enjoyable.  We ventured out in the dingy a few times to see what we could see and had dolphins playing in our dingy wake.  A clean and quiet marina with new floating docks made a pleasant stop on our looper adventure.
