They had a large and enthusiastic group! |
I got a call from the president of the GHTA earlier this year with a request to present to his annual meeting in November in Gainsville, Florida. Since I was going to be in Titusville anyway and the timing fit in with my stay there, I agreed.
The second session was in the use of Bob423 Tracks - many people followed along on their iPads |
It was a 2.5 hour drive from Titusville so I started out late morning for my 1:00 presentation with Going South (on the status of the ICW) and at 2:00 on how to use Bob423 tracks. The room was packed and I met many cruisers that were already familiar with my GPX tracks for the ICW. The ICW status they got was an updated version of the one I gave at Homer Smith and Regatta Point YC in October. I think it went over well.
The big news here is the coming storm, Nicole. Landfall is predicted to be just south of us on the east coast of Florida but not until Thursday. We are planning to find a place to stay Wednesday and Thursday on land and leave Fleetwing double and triple tied up. I’ll spend Tuesday morning trying to find a place that will take a 45 lb dog along with us. We have a car, so transportation is not an issue, wish us luck.
I can certainly say that the cruise south this year has not been dull!
