the good ship Straight from the Heart has departed!
03 November 2011
We left Waterford Harbor in League City, TX at 12:30pm in a flurry of packing everything on board. We have never left in such a state of disorganization. But we wanted to beat the arrival of a front expected later last night so we blasted out of there.
Betty, Don's stepmom, is accompanying us on the southern-Texas-coast-portion of the trip. For those of you who have not been following along up until now, Don had a burning desire to sail to Brownsville before we turn around and head east toward the Caribbean . He wants to be able to say we have gone all the way from the Canadian border to the Mexican border. So we are off....and thrilled to be moving again.
We went all of 30 nautical miles yesterday and are snugged in at Harborwalk Marina till it stops blowing like stink and the water comes back in the ICW. Then we head south.
We look forward to sharing our adventure with you. Feel free to pass along the link to others who may enjoy keeping up with us.
