And all this stuff goes where?
Five (5) years out from our first southward departure, we again are preparing to jump aboard s/v arrow and head for the warm. Perhaps 'jump' is a poor choice, reflecting more the captain's ideal than the admiral's reality. Stuff that needs to be loaded ranges from updated charts (both paper and electronic) to maintenance equipment (engine spares, oil and oil change tools) to foodstuffs sufficient to carry us over the Atlantic horizon (even though on the ICW we will see land almost always).
Unlike 5 years ago, our plans this trip do not involve south Florida and Key West. We intend to do a slow meander down the ICW to northern Florida, leaving around September 15 (a month earlier than last time) and arriving at, say, Jacksonville, before Thanksgiving. We will leave arrow at a to-be-determined marina and fly home for the holidays. In late February or early March we will fly back down and then come up the ICW to home.
