Sue, Genny and I are off for Florida. The journey begins with a passage down the Dismal Swamp Canal connecting the Chesapeake Bay south of Norfolk to the Albamarle Sound, NC, near Elizabeth City. The weather and scenery were superb with blue skies and fall colors. We had an uneventful canal and lock passage (the best kind - uneventful that is) except for 3-4 log bumps that are routine for the canal. No problems encountered.
Our destination for this leg of our winter journey is Jacksonville, FL, where we will leave the boat at the Naval Air Station until after Christmas. Then we'll return and sail over to the Bahamas. At least thats the plan now. Leg one is well underway and we should be in Jacksonville by the 18th.
I'll link more pictures as we have time and wifi coverage along the way.
