Loggerhead Club & Marina - INTERMISSION UNTIL 1/7/2012

Ann is always on the lookout for pictures of clouds she can use in her pastels

We've come to the end of our first half on the trip south down the ICW. We're leaving Fleetwing in Stuart until January 7, when we'll return and continue down the ICW to Key West, arriving there February 1. So today we made our lists of what to take with us and made finishing touches on getting the boat ready. Now we just have to pick the car up on Monday, pack and load up the car and take off.

I'm trying out the iPad2 as a car navigator, the display is bright and easily seen in the car and the app seems powerful with many features including a real time traffic display so slowdowns can be routed around, at least in theory, we'll see.

I'll restart the blog on January 7, tune back in then to follow our cruise to Key West.
