Today is Tuesday, May 17th and we have been in Norfolk, VA attending the rendezvous of the America's Great Loop Cruisers Association since Friday, the 13th. It's been a very informative seminar and we have met a lot of great people here, some who are in the process of cruising as we are, some who have already completed the loop and some just beginning to plan.
Our original intent was to leave Ft. Myers, go through Lake Okeechobee and leave the boat in Stuart on the east coast of Florida. The plans changed after talking with the lockmaster who told us the water was too shallow for our boat to get through. Therefore, Mike had to spend time getting the correct information we need to go around the tip of the state. Thus, we left the boat in Ft. Myers to attend this seminar. Now it seems we'll be getting back to the boat later than anticipated since we're heading back to San Antonio for a medical appointment. Once that is taken care of, we'll be going back to the boat to pick up where we left off. I probably won't be adding anything to the blog until we get back so stay tuned.....
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
I was nice to meet you at the rendezvous have a safe and wonderful adventure when you return to Fort Myers.
