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!

MAY 11-13,2013- FERNANDINA BEACH, FL TO ST. SIMONS, GA


Another milestone for Terrmar!   Our last stop in Florida is Fernandina Harbor Marina, Florida.  We stayed long enough to walk the downtown and see the quaint shops and restaurants.  Then it was time to continue north.

We meandered up the ICW noticing how the scenery was beginning to change as we entered the state of Georgia.  I was thrilled to capture a picture of a wild horse seen grazing on the beach on Cumberland Island, GA.  The horses were set free when their caretaker died and she requested in her will, that they should be allowed to roam wild and fend for themselves on the island.

We spent the evening docked at Hidden Harbor Yacht Club, St. Simmons, GA.  Small, quiet, beautiful and floating docks much appreciated because of the 7 ft. tides!
