Landlocked in Illinois
14 January 2013 | Koko on the hard in Florida
We begin 2013 in central Illinois doing contract work to replenish the cruising kitty. Koko awaits us back in Florida where she is on the hard awaiting an engine rebuild and a few other updates.
It's winter here, and cold, so we dream of points south. At the moment we are making plans in May to trailer our smaller sailboat, a Catalina 22 named Cay Cat, to the northern Gulf of Mexico coast and spend a week or so gunk holing around between Apalachicola and Fort Walton Beach, FL. Then we plan on joining the Northern Gulf Coast Cruise (NGCC) group for their 6 day cruise from Fort Walton Beach west to Orange Beach, Alabama and back. It's an annual cruise consisting only of Catalina 22 sailboats and every year now there are around 20 of them. This will be the sixth year for us. Love those emerald waters and white sands!
Stay tuned for updates. Our contract work is very fluid, so you never know when we will be where.
