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 8-16,2012- SARASOTA, FL

One of our favorite vacation destinations in Florida is beautiful Sarasota.  6 years ago Mark and I stayed not far from Sarasota at Longboat Key and we explored, shopped, and dined in this charming city.  We were excited to be back, viewing it from a boating perspective.  Newer floating docks, waterfront Island Park, and Marina Jack Restaurant made it very enjoyable indeed!  Of course Sonata’s company added to the fun.  Another run to the local Stein Mart was a must, after all what else was there to do with a courtesy car (driver included)!  Hated to leave this place so soon, but new adventures waited – plus the marina was expecting a group of boats with prior reservations.
