What are We Doing in Illinois?


This past Saturday it snowed and got down to 24 degrees! Brrrrr! Time to head south.

Actually we have been busy getting Tourist ready for the journey back to Florida. Oil change, fuel filters, sea water impellers, Haul out for bottom cleaning and new zincs. You get the picture. Meanwhile Pam has been fretting over what shoes to take and which to leave home. As for me flip flops and deck shoes should suffice.

The plan is to head out on or near the 20th and work our way to Columbus, Ms. where we will leave the boat until the first week of January. Why Columbus? Because they have an airport. It's only an 800 mile drive from home. They have covered slips for the boat. The temps are usually above freezing. And because Tourist will be sitting in fresh water instead of salt water. If it were up to me we'd keep going straight to Florida and let the relatives come to us for the Holidays. What's not to like about warm weather?
