Still on the Hard

Our plan to launch today was foiled, my buddy Larry called to get in the water and the yard operator was a hundred miles away! So much for call a couple of hours in advance. We did get our provisions and sea bags aboard and stowed (thanks to Larry's wife Tonie). Tomorrow we are scheduled to launch at eight, then head down the Inland waterway to Wrightsville Beach. Spot will be tracking us.

From there, out past Frying Pan Shoals then head ssw to Key West. With favorable winds, about five days, although winds do not look all that favorable. We are both retired so we may add stops along the way.

On the Hard

Ta-ke-la is currently in the shipyard at Sloops Point getting ready for our trip. The satellite position shows our position.

On the Road Again!

Four months after completing a 16,000 mile motorcycle trip from NC to Alaska, a friend sent an email two weeks ago asking if I wanted to go south until we were warm. We met and plan to sail from Hampstead, NC down to Key West along the east coast of Mexico and Belize to the Island of Utila off the coast of Honduras. This blog will document our travel with a link to our satellite tracker. Current plan is to head out the week of 26 December.
