To travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination
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.
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.
