Day 1, April 25, 2012: After more than two years of planning we embark on our Great Loop Adventure. One of our friends opined that we would not have space for all our clothes. She was spot on; we fit only the treasures from two walk-in closets at home into one hanging locker and the equivalent of one dresser—with room to spare. “Yes, Marilyn, the jewels are in the lockbox at the bank. She is going naked!”

Sounds like a great trip! The two of you are going to have a great trip. If you find that you are running a couple of days late in December we will in Amelia Island late on 12-25 and there is a great marina just north of Jacksonville. We even have a place down there and would love to have you stay with us a couple of days if it fits your schedule. We will be following your progress. Good luck!- Bob & Sharon Harkrider
