…to move Indigo Lady to Florida. We left her in Virginia at the end of August, and now we will move her somewhere around West Palm Beach. If the weather gods permit (and the gods of things not breaking on boats), we should be home by Thanksgiving (although we are not holding our breath). Lady will stay put in Florida until we return to her just after New Year.
Dave and I will start the trek alone, transiting from Chesapeake, VA to Beaufort, NC via the ICW (IntraCoastal Waterway). This is the part of the trip I am looking forward to. We will travel by day and dock/moor/anchor at night. It is supposed to be very scenic. I’m picturing it sort of like a really long Sunday drive (should take about a week). My dad and two of his cousins will meet us in Beaufort mid November and the five of us will continue the trek to Florida, cruising non-stop offshore as much as weather and sea conditions permit. I am not looking forward to this part of the trip. It is efficient (5 days to FL vs. more than a week), but I find it tedious to be in constant motion and unable to stretch my legs ashore. At least with five people aboard, night watches will be short, and I will have good company (though all male, hmmm…).
Sorry I’ve been silent for so long; I’ve been quite busy with land things plus preparing for this next leg of our boating journey. I should be able to post at least once before we go offshore, and again when we reach Florida, though. I will also post pictures on Instagram as often as possible, so you can enjoy the scenery along with me.
Life on Lady 
Great Job Lisa, I love reading about your journey!!!!
