EVEN NOW; WITH A THOUSAND LITTLE VOYAGES UNDER MY BELT.
I STILL FEEL A MEMORIAL CHILL ON CASTING OFF.

BAHAMAS OR BUST - It was not looking good for our scheduled departure from Legacy Harbour Marina in Fort Myers, on our quest for adventure on the bounding seas - we were socked in with fog and pacing the decks.  Decided while waiting for fog to lift to try Izzy's life jacket that she wore last year  because the description said it fit up to a 70lb. dog and she is now 68 pounds.  Hmmmm what do ya think - does it make my butt look big?  Good thing she's a swimmer.

Patiently waiting for fog to lift

By 10:30 the fog had lifted enough to at least see the river - so this is it - say our last goodbyes, start the engines, cast of the lines and head for clear blue water and warmer climes.


 
It is extremely difficult for us to leave this place, if you will remember last year we came for a couple of days and ended up staying 2 months.  The staff is first class and the many friends we have met here are priceless. To Donnie on Kasey's Choice - how did you do on the departure date pool? 

  

Hey don't I get a vote on leaving the marina - I love it here!

  1. Hey you guys... Looks like you're having a good trip.
    Izzy is like Radar. Loves the marinas but not the boat rides.
    We are still stuck in Memphis. My mother broke her arm which is not good when you're 88.
    Our plans are similar to your if we get away. Hope to catch up somewhere.
    Have fun
