To travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination
We typically leave Fort Myers by the end of April, but with the price of diesel continuing to rise, we cut 2,000 miles off our summer road trip this year. That pushed our departure date to May 31, and what a difference a month makes. It is hot, hot, hot here in this part of Florida and we are more than ready to depart the state tomorrow morning on our 6,000-mile journey in our motorhome.
Today we took a drive to Cape Coral to begin our search for the perfect boat for our adventure on America’s Great Loop. We are hoping to start our 6000-mile journey in 2024, and one of the first things we need to decide on is what kind of boat to buy for the journey.
Our winter in Fort Myers will come to an end on May 31 when we pack all the outdoor furniture into the “coach house” (aka, the 10 x 12 structure we use for my art studio / guest house / storage shed), pull up the jacks and hit the road for the summer.
