The New Member--"HOPE"

27 April 2014 | Boca Chita Key
Jim at Boca Chita Key Again!
In this photo we were on our way home to Rhode Island. This is a lovely spot at the eastern end of the Florida Keys. WE stopped here on our way south with Lady and got eaten alive with misquotes. However this time in early spring things were much better and we were able to enjoy this beautiful spot. The new boat isa Grand Banks 42. We named her "Hope" because we have high hopes of lots of new cruising fun. Dede and I have been cleaning and fitting and fixing her since March 25th. We are still working on her but have finally got underway and have headed south to the Florida keys and then up the east coast to RI. In this post we are about to turn the corner and start to head north.
Please stop in, I'll try to keep you posted as to where and what we are up to.
