Ready But Not Eager To Leave

Marathon Public Library

Well, with a great deal of mixed feelings, we plan to leave Marathon to start heading North again tomorrow. We hope to hit the Erie Canal about the time that school lets out, so we have to start moving.

The reason for the mixed feelings is that we feel so at home here in Marathon that we hate to leave. Attention all you cruisers: don't miss Marathon -- you'll love it.

The winds will be light so we're unlikely to repeat last year's feat of sailing 180 miles on our first day sailing north. Most likely, we'll stop at or before Key Biscayne for a night's sleep. I'll keep you posted.
