Dennis spent many hours over the last few months at the kitchen table planning and scouring East Coast charts and guidebooks, while I spent my hours making lists, shopping, searching the house for items too important to forget, and trying to calculate just how much toliet paper we would need for 5 months. Other issues needing resolution were mail, pool and yard upkeep, how to get renewals on car and boat license coming due in June, scripts, plus how to vacate the house.
There were even times we asked each other, "Do we really need to do this?" If you have ever been to Punta Gorda, and experienced Charlotte Harbor sailing, it's a hard place to venture far from, or find winds comparable. So while we will certainly will miss this sheltered, beautiful harbor, and even more our delightful boating family of Mariners, we look forward to getting "cruising adventure" checked off our lengthy retirement "To Do" list.
