One Day...........

As winter comes to Myrtle Beach and the temperatures drop, we read about our new best friends that we have met on the Internet that are heading South. We can't help to wonder what we will be doing 2 years from now and where we will be heading. For now we read their blogs hoping to gain insight for our travels. Rebecca and Mike are on the S/V Zero to Cruising which is poised down in Florida preparing to cross the Gulf Stream. They are making last minute adjustments to their boat. It seems like there is always something to do on  a boat, some additions and repairs are necessary and some seem to be because. The other friends that we follow is Brittany and Scott on the S/V Windtraveler. They are just below Charleston today and steadily heading South. Yesterday they had a chilling reminder of how cruising is more than rum drinks. Brittany writes in their blog about a lady that had a severe injury to her hand. The blog "When Tragedy Strikes " tells how safety is a major concern at all times while on the water. Good luck to all as you make the passage to the Bahamas.

  1. I'm always interested in following the adventures of others who embark on their dreams, particularly if they involve cruising on a sailboat. Over the next several months, I'll be keen on reading how your plans are developing and unfolding. I'll also be curious to hear how you decide on the 'perfect' boat for your dream. All the best to the two of you as you go forth on your shared adventures!

  2. Thanks! We are so excited, seems we are consumed with reading and searching the web for information. We are placing our house for sale in a few months so that we can actively search for a boat. We want to be available if the right one comes along. We are both educators and remarried as of 2 years ago. Good thing is that Melanie wants to do this just as much as I do. Price is going to play a huge factor in the type of boat, not much here as far as funds go! Any suggestions? Thanks, Drew
