We have now been living and cruising on our boat for over 12 months. Where has the time gone? It does not seem possible that it was more than a year ago that we released our mooring lines from our slip in Annapolis and headed south down the Chesapeake Bay. We started with a high level plan which we have continued to update as we cruise. The only thing for sure is that what we actual did over the last year had little to do with our original plan. But then what are plans for other than to change? However, we have had a great year. Met lots of interesting people and visited some amazing places. We thought we would share a few statistics.
