THE JOURNEYS OF TERRMAR IV: MARCH 6-9,2013- HARBOR TOWN MARINA, FORT PIERCE, 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!

MARCH 6-9,2013- HARBOR TOWN MARINA, FORT PIERCE, FL

This marina proved to be a bit of a challenge with the short and narrow finger docks and a 3 foot tide. First time and hopefully the last time I almost fell in the water while trying to get on the boat. Guess I have to grow longer legs! We managed to get groceries using the courtesy bikes the marina provided (one speed, no brakes, well used, up and down a hill) since we did not think it wise to try to manoeuver our bikes on and off the boat. Whew, made it two days in a row to Publix since the bikes were not equipped with baskets and we only had one backpack to carry all our provisions. Well, we won’t starve now as we continue our journey.
