You beat me to the water! Great Blog. I hope you're having as much fun and adventure as it looks like. I'm in the process of closing the deal on my next boat in Fort Lauderdale and will be joining the ranks of the floaters in September. First trip will be to bring said boat up to the Chesapeake for outfitting! Sail on! Eliah, so how much did you save on your car insurance?
This trip is the culmination of nearly two years of scheming and is made possible by the generous help and support of family and friends.
The plan is to take the boat - recently redubbed ICE NINE, from Ketchikan, Alaska to our home port of Belfast, Maine. A trip of nearly 10,000 miles. When we began I gave our chance of success as 25 percent. Now, as I write this in Port Townsend, Washington I will revise that figure to 35 percent. No matter what happens, we will take the boat as far as we can safely manage and intend to take enough time to enjoy the people and places we visit along the way.
Please enjoy the blog and feel free to comment or express concern about my ability to operate a camera. - Gib
Gilbert and Eliah,
