Preparing to shove off


Hi All,
Well the summer is flying by and our tenative departure date is Sept 15th. Doing the ICW again however we will be missing the Annapolis Boat Show, for the first time in recent memory, as our plans state that we need to be in the Mrytle Beach/Pawleys Island area around Oct 20th. Our daughter, Marcella, is getting married on Nov 6th. We will be leaving the boat here and flying home for a few weeks before returning on Nov 10th. After spending some time with "Country Bobbie"(star of our 1st blog post) and his wife Claudia on Pawleys Island we will be trying to get to Vero Beach by Thanksgiving.
This year our "sails" will take us the reverse route of last season as we will cross over to the Abacos from West Palm Beach in late Nov/early Dec. Then on to the Central Bahamas and points south. We are looking forward to stopping in Black Point again and bringing the school there some much needed supplies and books. Robin will surely be doing some teaching and helping out. If anyone would like to donate any basic supplies such as pencils, sharpeners. copy paper, etc. please send us an email or if you don't have our email(we'd rather not post it here) leave a comment and we will get back to you.
All for now
