To travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination
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.
When we bought our boat, we knew her current name was not going to work for us. No matter how long I live in Florida, I don’t see myself identifying with “Dolphin Girl.” This is not to say that I’m not delighted to see pairs of dolphins frolicking in the water as we travel the Florida waterways. But our new boat needed a new name. One that means something to us.
We have been having such a good time with our new boat. We’ve baken friends out on the Caloosahatchee River, cruised down to LaBelle for lunch, brought the dogs on several short cruises to see how they like boating life …and more. The more time we can get out on the boat each week, the better. Not only is it so peaceful being out on the water, but I’m really enjoying the consistency of docking, cruising, and learning everything I can so I can be helpful while we’re on the water.
