On Monday the 9th we left Stuart and across Lake Okeechobee for the two day run to Ft Myers. We spent 6 1/2 months on Putz'n Around, less the trip home for Christmas and Soren's first Birthday. We stayed one month in Fort Myers, two months in Fort Myers Beach, 5 days in Key West, one month in Marathon and 10 days in Islamorada. We then crossed the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic to the Bahamas. We stayed in Bimini, the Berry Islands, Spanish Wells and 8 different Cays in the Abacos. All in all we traveled 1140 miles by water.
We made great new friends and were able see many friends we made the previous year. The cruising community is quite small and very close. We look forward to running into our friends cruising in the coming years. We were blessed to have such a wonderful cruising year!
After two days of cleaning, I drove the boat up to Owl Creek where she will spend the summer out of huricane danger. Brigitte picked me up in the truck and we drove the 1740 miles home in two days!
The sunrise on the water our last day is quite the contrast to rush hour traffic in Atlanta and the temperature back home. We arrived in tee shirts, shorts, and flip flops!
That's it for this year, stayed tuned in Nov for the continued " Adventures of Putz'n Around"
Cheers from Brigitte and Scott
