Yes, it seems somewhat ironic to have ended the last post about the start of our new journey with a reference to a rainbow. Our first day moving was a bit overcast with bouts of sunshine, both liquid and not!
Yes, we did finally head out of Fort Pierce on Thursday. Yeah! She’s cruising again and couldn’t feel any stronger. First stop, after a lovely nine-hour cruise up the AICW – Cocoa Beach.
Hmmm…Is this for the manatee?
Her first cruising day in more than four months was a complete success. This girl is ready to go. W-e-l-l, turns out to be a good thing, because…enter Ian. That’s right she is running…. really.
Captain says all stops will be short – one night – and move on. So, Friday morning, we were on the way at sunrise, continuing our journey north to hopefully get ahead of the storm. Next stop, Daytona Beach, hoping to meet up with the new great grands.
If only we could keep the first mate from getting distracted. 🙂
Although we galloped into Daytona Beach, work schedules messed up seeing the oldest grandson and his family. Rats. Would be good to hang around, ’cause, heck, we don’t work, but gotta keep running. There’s a storm coming. Next stop, Marineland Marina for a quick visit with daughter Tracee and her beau’s family, and a quick hug with three more grandkids. Special shout out to granddaughter Kayla, she’s a senior. Notice the theme!
We will see Marineland next time through, gotta keep moving. So, throw the lines, and today we continued northward to Jacksonville Beach. Man, Florida has A LOT of bridges!
As the ‘Mare gallops north and her crew keeps a vigilant watch for updates on that rascal storm, Ian, it sure seems like we are being guided each step of the way. (Or is it watched? Ha!)
Eyes around of all kinds!
