After an extended visit back north with friends and family, we're back on Live Now. Still berthed in Brunswick, we're refitting for our next cruise. As usual, there's plenty to do. We plan to finish up most of the work within the next week. Then, we're back to Ohio over Christmas.
John (and maybe, Brad) plans another long distance hike: this time the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). The PCT runs from Mexico to Canada through California, Oregon and Washington. At over 2600 miles with a total rise in elevation of over 50 vertical miles and 500 miles longer than the Appalachian Trail, it presents a different set of challenges: a greater range of temperatures, weather, high sierra snow/ice, desert, elevation and fewer provisioning opportunities. Pat will again provide logistical support, while touring the west coast and visiting. If we go forward on this insanity, we'll begin next April and hope to finish in August.
This will mean a shorter cruising season and we may just head down the coast of Florida to the Keys and the Dry Tortugas after the first, returning to Brunswick in March.

Hey John and Pat
This is Bob and Denise from Norton's Marina. Well we always said one day we would take the boat down the ICW and in Oct we are. We would love to stop and see you if you are going to be on the boat somewhere on the East Coast. My email is dg0757@yahoo.com.
