What was once was a distant dream is now our new life!

Wednesday, September 17,  Putz'n Around left her slip at Sunnyside Marina for the last time at 7:06 a.m.  Jillian, Eric, and Cubby were there to see us off.   We were just out of the no wake zone, when the port engine appeared to overheat.  We were back at Sunnyside by 7:30, where all hands came on deck!  We pulled the boat to check water intakes and props.  Everything's cool - it appears it  is a temperature sensor issue.  The guys found a part in Ohio, which is being air shipped in.  If all goes well, the part should be here at 10:00 am and we should be on our way again around noon!  That's boating!!!! I can't thank the entire staff  at Sunnyside enough for their assistance!!!!!!!


enough for their assistance!!!!!!Our rigid plan of  infinite  flexibility will have us travel the first 9 days at a pace of 100 miles a day to reach Paducah,  Kentucky by Sept. 25th.  Our plan is then to slow it way down and enjoy the new waters of the Tennessee, and the Tenn-Tom Waterway.  We plan on making Mobile  around October 14th and Fort Meyers by Nov. 15th.  We will post a couple of times a week so enjoy the ride as you wish!
Cheers!
Scott and Brigitte

    I hope today goes better and you get to start your adventure south! I'm not sure if you know this but your link for your SPOT tracker requires a password. I'd love to follow you - is there another way to see that? Thanks!

    I hope today is going well. Your house is still standing and no mail. Can't follow on spot tracker without a password.
