Lots of rain and wind along the way;
So we've made it into the Chesapeake for the 4th of July. Lasata is in her temporary slip in Cobb Island, near a friends boat. It's a bit far from Annapolis for my taste, but it is in an inexpensive place and we have may have access to a good workspace and tools.
Taking 5 days to run up the ICW we encountered lots of rain and wind along the way (every day!).
With stops in Belhaven, Alligator River Marina, Elizabeth City, and on the Dismal Swamp; we can say we did the ditch (mostly) both ways. As for next year, it't going to be mostly coastal. And yes, we are potentially looking for crew and buddy boats.
