A groggy morning here on the highway in North Carolina after an overnight slog, but it feels great to have made such progress, and hey, now we have Pedro’s South of the Border signs to keep us occupied while the coffee kicks in.
We left Maine yesterday afternoon after a gymnastics meet for Lily, or as we now call her, Miss Bronze.
The plan is to stay somewhere within striking distance of Indiantown tonight, so that we can make a daytime approach to the boat. It’ll be nice to unpack a few bags and have time to make our nests before our first night aboard.
As co-pilot today I’ll be catching us up on Skipper Bob’s recommendations for the Abacos, and amusing myself with a weather app a friend just brought to my attention.
Meanwhile, this U-Haul is REALLY tailgating.
I’m looking forward to following your adventure. I’m curious how you integrate the different subjects on your sail. It’s a teacher’s dream to have such a rich, rich context for learning!!!
I’ll post more about the ‘official’ schooling piece once we’re into our routine- the trip certainly opens up many possibilities for a curriculum.
No more pictures out the back window while driving, please!
Who’s Cap’n Bob? Resorting to folkloric pseudonyms already on this resort-bound winter adventure? It seems a good way to start da story.
Go go, Ms. Bronze, and bob smoothly on the heavenly seas, the whole quartet of youse.
LOVE,
Auntie Al
Skipper Bob writes planning guides for sailors. They’re funny little publications that provide good reading and lots of good local information! I should have elaborated on good ol’ Skipper Bob!
Congrats Miss Bronze!!!!
Now for acrobatics in the rigging!
