Our plans are very loose. First stop, the state park at Islamadora where there are supposed to be nice coral reefs for snorkeling. After that, we'll go out into the Gulf Stream and stay there as long as the winds blow from the south. We get an extra 2 to 4 knots free ride from the Gulf Stream current all the time we're out there. We'll come back in when the first of two events happen, (1) The wind turns around and blows from the north, or (2) We get to Saint Augustine.
We never spent time in Saint Augustine, and everyone says that it's nice. We also hear that the Intracoastal Waterway is nice in Georgia, and we never did that. We'll have to make up our minds on that. The Georgia ICW is full of 2-4 foot shallow spots to run aground on. If we go there, we'll have to travel past those spots at high tides only.
By June we should be able to make Long Island Sound. We can spend the summer exploring New England. Hopefully we'll get my sister and cousins and uncles who all live in MA and NH to come sailing with us. Also, we may be able to attract some of our NY friends to come sail with us too.
By September we want to be up by Baltimore so that we have a leisurely time to explore the Chesapeake.
Caveat: All plans are subject to repeated and radical change. The only true objective is to have fun.
