THE JOURNEYS OF TERRMAR IV: FEB 20-21,2012- PELICAN BAY (ANCHORAGE), FL

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!

FEB 20-21,2012- PELICAN BAY (ANCHORAGE), FL

Well, it seemed like forever, but we finally managed to find a beautiful anchorage located in Pelican Bay, nestled beside Cayo Costa State Park. Here we swayed gently on the hook in about 8 feet of water enjoying beautiful scenery and weather. Mark managed to get the dingy operational, although we had misgivings about soaking our precious dingy in Florida salt water. Oh well, always the yin-yang! Salt water, yes, but up close and personal at a Florida paradise – no hesitation and worth every minute!
