Preparing for the trip

Captain Jerry has been making the final preparations to North Star, our 32 foot Cape Island down east trawler. We are anxious to leave our landlubber lives behind and begin our long awaited journey around the Great Circle. Join us as we travel 10, 000 kilometers: through the historic Trent Severn Waterway; the pristine waters of Georgian Bay; the North Channel of lake Huron; and hop from beach to beach on lake Michigan. We will visit Chicago and begin our trek along the rivers: Illinois; upper Mississippi; Ohio; Cumberland: Tennessee; Tenn-Tom Waterway and the Black Warrior. We will have transited through 68 locks at this juncture. We have chosen the inner route from Mobile Alabama to Tarpon Springs Florida and the shorter Ocheechobee Waterway to reach the East coast of Florida. We will skip over to the Bahamas to wait out the winter before heading North on the Atlantic Inter Coastal Waterway.
The 10 years of researching and planning are finally at an end and we invite you to come along on our adventure.

Grand Rivers Kentucky

Wasting away at Green Turtle Bay Marina and visiting the near by town.  The rain stopped mid morning yesterday so off we went on our bicycles to explore Grand Rivers. Patti's settlement established in 1880 looks like a step back into the past.  There are unique little shops and antique stores and we even found a yard sale. It was a short bike ride with not too many hills.
Today we have no plans just a lazy day at the marina.
Patti's restaurant famous for it's 2" pork chops and deserts
